Bus/Financial - Insurance / Vehicle Risk Certificate
Italian term or phrase: regole evolutive
I am translating a no claims bonus certificate.

The full sentence reads:

"Sinistri considerati ai fini dell'applicazione delle regole evolutive"

I have translated "regole evolutive" as "bonus-malus system" due to another proz entry I found. Although this describes the system, I am sure there must be a better translation of this term.

English translation:differential rates
Explanation:
It means that there are rules providing for differential rates in the premium.

The bonus-malus system is one specific way of doing this, which falls under the umbrella concept of a differential premium system.

Explanation:
While bonus-malus is a term of art in the insurance industry, no-claim discount (NCD) is an alternative in English. See the Wikipedia article on bonus-malus and look under the heading insurance.
