Bus/Financial - Insurance / Vehicle Risk Certificate
Italian term or phrase: E scattata in quanto le percentuali di responsabilita accumulate
This claims bonus certificate, or "attestato di reschio", has a note under the table listing claims that have been considered for the bonus that reads:

(*)Applicazione del malus o del peius e scattata in quanto le percentuali di responsabilita accumulate nel corso dell'ultimo quinquennio di osservazione della sinistrosita hanno superato il 50%.

This part of the phrase I have tried to translate as:

"...IS COMMENCED IN AS MUCH AS THE ACCUMULATED LIABILITY PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS..."

...which I know will not make much sense so I would like some help to understand this and find the correct insurance terminology.

Thanks.

activated since the cumulative percentages for liability
Explanation:
I think activated is appropriate for scattare here.

Presumably this means that the insured party was responsible for more than 50% of claims during the relevant period.

has been applied because the percentages of liability that have accumulated


Explanation:
The surcharge has been applied because the percentages of liability that have accumulated over the last five years

Instead of saying "the application of the surcharge has been triggered..." it is simpler just to say "the surcharge has been appplied..."
