Domestic boilers/domestic purposes

Boilers not used in trade processes but this does not preclude their use in business premises exclusively for domestic’ purposes such as central heating, supplying hot water for hand washing or use in the works canteen. The term is important as the standard fire policy provides cover for explosion damage caused by boilers used for domestic purposes only. In the same way the standard fire policy covers explosion caused by gas supplied for heating, etc.

For example, State Farm’s incorporation is in Illinois. Therefore, in Illinois, State Farm is a domestic insurance company.

Domestic terrorism

The Federal Bureau of Investigation defines this term as “the unlawful use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual based and operating entirely within the United States or its territories without foreign direction committed against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” Distinguishing between domestic and foreign acts of terrorism is important because the Terrorism Risk and Insurance Act (TRIA) only applies to acts of foreign terrorists.
