THE ESSENTIALS
Before you start
- Separate delivery, installation, testing and normal operation.
- Check policy dates alongside each guarantee's conditions.
- Obtain confirmation before assuming early-stage protection.
A guarantee's conditions can matter
CE003 of this version requires completed installation and successful tests for machinery breakdown cover.
MAPFRE's information document describes operating, assembly and dismantling situations within its own scope. These references show why the actual terms and exclusions must be read, without transferring rules between products.

Build a responsibility timeline
Our suggested stages are transport to site, unloading, installation, testing and handover for normal use. Record expected dates, participants and the document to consult on risk allocation.
Fictional example: a machine arrives on Monday, installation ends on Thursday and acceptance follows Friday's tests. The insurance enquiry should identify what needs consideration between Monday and Friday, rather than only the delivery date.
A supplier agreement, transit insurance, possible assembly cover and an operating policy may answer different questions. This is a review structure, not a claim that every arrangement exists or is needed in all transactions.
A request is not a confirmation
Ask the response to identify each guarantee's start and its prerequisites. If installation is delayed or tests fail, report the facts and clarify the equipment's current stage.
Keep delivery, installation and test records and any acceptance certificate where available. Do not replace them with a date reconstructed from memory after damage.
Request a quote from RMACHADO with equipment details and the operation's timetable. Cover requires confirmation of applicable terms and insurer acceptance.
KEEP THESE QUESTIONS
Your checklist for the next conversation
- Identify transport, unloading, assembly, tests and use.
- Record dates and participants at each stage.
- Check conditions for each guarantee to start.
- Keep reports and communicate timetable changes.
