The rule in plain words
IMM (for derivatives and SFTS), alpha used for computing regulatory exposure value must be at least 1.2.
EBA checks it on two sheets: all CCR exposures and all CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs). That makes two checks. A failure names the one that failed.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
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.
Alpha used for computing regulatory exposure value: IMM (for derivatives and SFTS), All CCR exposures >= 1.2
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value outside the limit in these cells.
- 03If the value is a percentage, EBA expects it as a decimal: 12% is reported as 0.12.
- 04EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 34.02 as reported.
- 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.
The cells it reads
CCR exposures by approach (CCR 2) (C 34.02.b)
Row
- 0040IMM (for derivatives and SFTS)
Column

Sheets
- 0001All CCR exposures
- 0002All CCR exposures excluding exposures to central counterparties (CCPs)
A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
IMM (for derivatives and SFTS), alpha used for computing regulatory exposure value must then be at least 1.2.
A file that reports 1.2 passes. One that reports -98.8 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision.
