Class Codes & Rates:

In the rating of risks under Code 9985, it is the prerogative of the carrier to determine the supplemental rate it feels is adequate to cover the radiation hazard in risks that engage in research, manufacturing, handling or transportation involving radioactive materials. In general, these risks are written at the rate of the classification that would normally describe the risk's operations. The radiation hazard is covered by a supplemental rate, which the carrier determines on the basis of its own underwriting judgment. The risks that have been rated under this rule are laboratories engaged in research on radioactive materials, isotope dealers and instrument manufacturers who use radioactive components in their instruments, etc.
