The rule in plain words
Internal rating scale - PD assigned to the obligor grade or pool cannot be more than 1.
EBA checks it for 14 rows, from total exposures (0010) to acquisition, development and construction (ADC) (0910). That makes 14 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.
Internal rating scale - PD assigned to the obligor grade or pool: Of which: exposures subject to SME-supporting factor <= 1
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 08.01 as reported.
- 06This 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.
Exposures subject to SME-supporting factor, internal rating scale - PD assigned to the obligor grade or pool can then be at most 1.
A file that reports 1 passes. One that reports 1.1 fails, by 0.1.
The numbers are illustrative.
