Line4

1 min readSwitched off by EBAEBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

Chairperson, male plus chairperson, non-binary plus chairperson, female must equal 1 (EBA rule v22573_m)

A check in the diversity benchmarking return (REM diversity), on template R 16.00, non executive directors age and gender.

EBA switched this rule off in its 4.2 severity package (January 2026), so it does not run on reporting framework 4.2 filings. EBA's list of validation rules of 12 October 2026 still has it switched off. Line4 Check does not run it either.

The rule in plain words

For chairperson: these three added up must equal 1:

  • Male
  • Non-binary
  • Female

All the values are in the total number of non-executive directors by gender column (0070) of R 16.00.

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