Validation rules

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

How they are written: Excel rule list with an expression column and severity per entry point; rules marked Include in XBRL are also XBRL formula assertions in the taxonomy package.

The rules, on bankofengland.co.uk

How they were counted

Rows in sheet 'mrel' of 'Bank of England Banking Taxonomy Validations MREL v3.7.0.xlsx' (inside the validations ZIP, release 3.7.0) whose 'Severity and modules' column names MRL002. 100 rules: 100 active (Deactivated = no), 100 marked Include in XBRL = yes; 90 errors and 10 warnings. A rule shared by several entry points is counted once for each.

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