Total Risk exposure amount for Default Risk Capital (DRC) shall be equal to 12.5 * DRC Own Funds Requirements (OF91.08.01.01, OF02.00.01.01, Bank of England check boe_b0548)

A blocking check on the market risk: ASA default risk capital requirement (AS8 DRC) (OF91.08.01.01) and own funds requirements (CA2) (OF02.00.01.01) templates, in the own funds (PRA001) return.

Line4 Check runs it on the own funds (PRA001) return, proven on test files, check by check: the same outcome on all three test files of that return.

The rule in plain words

Total Risk exposure amount for Default Risk Capital (DRC) shall be equal to 12.5 * DRC Own Funds Requirements

In row "Total Default Risk Capital Requirement (DRC)" (0010) of Market risk: ASA default risk capital requirement (AS8 DRC) (OF91.08.01.01): "Total risk exposure amount" (column 0040) must equal "Own funds requirements" (column 0030) multiplied by 12.5.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark OF91.08.01 as reported.
