Line4

1 min readSwitched off by EBA on 10 June 2026EBA reporting framework 4.2Updated 10 November 2026

A lower-limit check on credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries (C 08.01.a, EBA rule v903250_h)

A check in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 08.01.a, credit and counterparty credit risks and free deliveries: IRB approach to capital requirements - TOTAL.

EBA switched this rule off for filings submitted from 10 June 2026, in a quarterly update to its list of validation rules. It no longer applies, so a failure here does not count, and Line4 Check does not run it.

The rule in plain words

The absolute value of total exposures cannot be less than the absolute value of exposures subject to SME-supporting factor plus the absolute value of exposures subject to infrastructure projects supporting factor.

All the values are in the (-) guarantees column (0040) of C 08.01.a.

EBA writes it out 36 times. These words are for the first; the others are the same rule on other cells.

The headline gives only the kind of check and the template, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

EBA's formula, as written out for the first of its checks. Cells are written as {template, row, column, sheet}.

abs({C_08.01.a,r0010,c0040,}) >= abs({C_08.01.a,r0015,c0040,}) + abs({C_08.01.a,r0016,c0040,})

And 35 more, the same formula for the other cells it covers.

Every COREP own funds rule, by template

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