Validation rules

The rules, on bankofengland.co.uk

How they were counted

Rows in sheet 'structural_reform' of 'Bank of England Banking Taxonomy Validations Ringfencing v4.1.1.xlsx' (inside the validations ZIP, release 4.1.1) whose 'Severity and modules' column names RFB007. 50 rules: 50 active (Deactivated = no), 46 marked Include in XBRL = yes; 12 errors and 38 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.
