ACORD Standards for Property & Casualty/Surety

• ACORD XML for P&C/Surety - A standard created in eXtensible Markup Language (XML) that addresses the real-time requirement by defining P&C/Surety transactions that include both request and response messages for Personal Lines, Commercial Lines, Specialty Lines, Surety, Claims, and Accounting transactions.
    
• AL3 - Electronic data interchange (EDI) standards that focus on data exchange between P&C insurers, surety organizations, their agents and other trading partners. More than 80,000 agency-company pairs currently use ACORD AL3 Standards for Upload and Download.
    
• P&C/Surety Forms - ACORD maintains more than 450 copyrighted property and casualty standard forms to meet the requirements of the industry and government regulators. ACORD files P&C Forms with regulators on behalf of Forms Pool Program members. All ACORD P&C Forms are published annually in the Forms Instruction Guide on CD-ROM and on the ACORD website.
