The rule in plain words
None of the values it checks in financial assets subject to impairment that are past due can be negative.
EBA checks it for six columns: ≤ 30 days (0010), > 30 days ≤ 90 days (0020), > 90 days (0030), ≤ 30 days (0040), > 30 days ≤ 90 days (0050) and > 90 days (0060). And for 26 rows, from debt securities (0060) to project finance loans (0310). That makes 156 checks. A failure names the one that failed.

> 90 days: Credit institutions >= 0
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Look for a value with the wrong sign in these cells, such as an amount entered as a negative number.
- 03EBA compares the values exactly here: there is no rounding tolerance.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark F 07.02 as reported.
- 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.
Credit institutions, > 90 days must then be at least 0.
A file that reports 0 passes. One that reports -100 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative.
