2 min readWarningEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

None of the 110 values it checks in credit risk and free deliveries can be negative (C 08.07, EBA rule v10300_s)

A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 08.07, credit risk and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements: scope of use of IRB and SA approaches (CR IRB 7).

The rule in plain words

None of the values it checks in credit risk and free deliveries can be negative.

EBA checks it for five columns: total exposure value as defined in Article 166 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013, total exposure value subject to SA and IRB, percentage of total exposure value subject to permanent partial use of SA (%), percentage of total exposure value subject to a roll-out plan (%), and percentage of total exposure value subject to IRB approach (%). And for 22 rows, from central governments or central banks (0010) to total (0170). That makes 110 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

The first of its checks, word for word as the report shows it when it fails. The others read the same, with their own column, row or sheet.

Percentage of total exposure value subject to IRB approach (%): OF WHICH RETAIL – SECURED BY RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE NON-SMES >= 0

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
  3. 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
  4. 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 08.07 as reported.
  5. 05This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example

The first of its checks, with simple numbers.

What the rule then expects

Retail – secured by residential real estate non-SMES, percentage of total exposure value subject to IRB approach (%) must then be at least 0.

0Passes
-100Fails

A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative.
