The basic extended reporting period (BERP) is the extended reporting periods (ERPs) the 1986 Insurance Services Office, Inc. (ISO), claims-made commercial general liability (CGL) policy automatically provides to the insured when a claims-made policy is canceled, not renewed, renewed with a laser exclusion, or renewed with an advanced retroactive date.

They are 60 days and 5 years. BERPs are also included in some claims-made professional liability policies.

In a few instances, they are offered when the insured cancels or nonrenews the policy.
