Templates (0)
The library lists no templates for this return.
EU return: the templates and instructions are defined by the EBA. See the library's EBA entry eba/esg (docs/eba/esg.md). Dutch firms use the EBA's templates and taxonomy; DNB's 'Required templates and filing indicators RF 4.2' workbook lists which templates each type of entity must send. Source
Validation rules
The DNB publishes the checks it runs on this return. They could not be counted from the published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source
How they are written: EBA validation rules and filing rules (see the EBA entry); DNB's additional checks as XBRL formula linkbases and an Excel list.
The rules are the EBA's (see the library's EBA entry eba/esg). DNB's 'Additional Data Quality Checks 2026 Q3' workbook has no formula linkbase checks for this module. DNB validates xBRL-CSV reports against the EBA filing rules (version 5.8 for reporting framework 4.2) and rejects reports with blocking errors.
How they were counted
Not counted here: the EBA's validation rules apply (see eba/esg).
Counts are in the DNB's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
No published data from this return was found. No data from this return published by DNB was found on the pages checked. Source
