Validation rules

37 rules, as counted from the BaFin's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: XBRL Formula value assertions in BaFin's taxonomy package, also listed in an Excel file (expression, severity ERROR or WARNING, message).

The Excel validation list linked under taxonomy 1.1.0 is the 1.0.0 file (5,990 rules) and lacks rules added in 1.1.0. BaFin rejects a report whose content or format breaks the published rules; the MVP protocol shows acceptance or rejection with errors and warnings.

The rules, on bafin.de

How they were counted

Value assertion files (val/vr-*.xml, not counting -err- message files) in BaFin_VA_NB_XBRL-Taxonomie 1.1.0 for the 4 forms of entry point um_pf as assigned in the 'Modules' sheet of the annotated templates: 37 rules, less 0 deactivated for taxonomy 1.1.0 in 'Deaktivierte Validierungen' (28.09.2026). The 7 rules of F.020.01 are counted in every entry point.

Counts are in the BaFin's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
