Summary: The Signs Coverage Form, CM 00 28 01 13, is included in the Insurance Services Office's (ISO) inland marine program. According to ISO's manual, it affords open perils coverage only for neon, fluorescent, automatic, or mechanical electric signs and lamps. Billboards or ordinary fixed signs, whether or not they are directly illuminated by electric lights are ineligible for coverage.

Under the inland marine program's modular format, a complete signs policy is formed by combining a Signs Coverage Form with a declarations page—where all covered property is scheduled with limits of insurance—a common policy conditions form, and an inland marine general conditions form. Alternately, these forms may be added to forms and endorsements of the other commercial lines programs to form a commercial package policy.
