What this page covers

All 17 entry points (modules) of EIOPA's Solvency II XBRL taxonomy, as listed in the taxonomy package (META-INF/taxonomyPackage.xml) and in Table 1 of the release notes, for release 2.8.2 Hotfix (used, like 2.8.2, for 2026 reference dates) and release 2.10.0 (from the Q1 2027 reference period): quarterly and annual returns for individual insurers (solo), groups and third-country branches; quarterly financial stability returns; the ECB statistical add-ons; special purpose vehicles; the optional public disclosure templates; and the technical entry point. Insurers and groups file these returns with their national supervisor, not with EIOPA; the national supervisor then sends the data on to EIOPA (EIOPA decision EIOPA-BoS-21/517), and EIOPA's taxonomy roadmap gives a separate deadline for each step. Templates are listed from the 2.8.2 Hotfix taxonomy; each return notes what changes in 2.10.0. Out of scope, because they use other EIOPA taxonomies or are not in the taxonomy: occupational pension funds (IORPs, Pension Funds taxonomy 2.9.0), the pan-European Personal Pension Product (PEPP prudential stand-alone and PEPP key information document reporting), financial conglomerates (FICOD 2.8.1), insurance recovery and resolution reporting (IRRD 2.11.0), and the narrative Solvency II reports (regular supervisory report, ORSA supervisory report and the text of the SFCR). Annual financial stability entry points were removed from release 2.8.0 onwards. Source

How firms file

EIOPA Hub
The technical file transfer system EIOPA uses to collect submissions from national competent authorities. Firms do not use it: they file with their own national supervisor, whose system and format rules apply, and the supervisor forwards the XBRL data through the Hub into EIOPA's Central Repository (EIOPA's data warehouse).

The returns (17)

Plain name first, the EIOPA's code in brackets. Each return has its own page: what it is for, who files it, the deadline, the templates, the validation rules, the documents and the sources.

Reuse terms for the EIOPA's documents

EIOPA legal notice (copyright notice) and EIOPA XBRL Taxonomy Licence Agreement v1.4, checked 11 November 2026. In the EIOPA's words:

Legal notice: "Reproduction of information and documents from the Authority's website is authorised without prior permission, provided that the user acknowledges the Authority as the source: "Source: EIOPA - European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, https://eiopa.europa.eu/". Exceptions to this rule concern the EIOPA's own developed tools requiring a special License Agreement, which terms and conditions are explained on EIOPA's respective webpages." Taxonomy licence (linked from the DPM and XBRL page): "EIOPA hereby grants You a perpetual, world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sub-licensable, non-assignable right of use of the Taxonomy in the context of the following activities (hereinafter "the Licence"): use the Taxonomy; reproduce the Taxonomy; ... communicate the Taxonomy to the public; distribute the Taxonomy or copies thereof; ... Abovementioned rights can be exercised for commercial and non-commercial purposes provided that it is mentioned that (i) EIOPA is the owner of the copyright on the Taxonomy and that (ii) the Taxonomy is available for download, free of charge, on the following website: https://www.eiopa.europa.eu/tools-and-data/supervisory-reporting-dpm-and-xbrl_en"

Can others share copies?: Allowed with conditions.
Conditions: Website documents: acknowledge 'Source: EIOPA - European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority, https://eiopa.europa.eu/'; if the material is transformed (summary, translation, derivative) and republished, add EIOPA's twofold disclaimer; if it is included in something sold, tell buyers it is free on EIOPA's website; EIOPA's logo needs written permission. Taxonomy release package (release notes, DPM dictionary and annotated templates, change logs, DPM documentation, list of validations, validation syntax, XBRL taxonomy, instance examples, taxonomy documentation, filing rules, DPM database, list of known issues): state that EIOPA owns the copyright and that the taxonomy is free to download from the DPM and XBRL page; keep all notices intact and include a copy of the licence with every copy; a modified version (derivative work) must say so and the date, is licensed back to EIOPA, and must be kept in a register. Legal texts come from the Publications Office of the EU and the ECB documents from the ECB website, under their own terms.
What the library does: Keeps copies of the documents, as the terms allow. Both EIOPA texts expressly allow copies to be made and distributed: the legal notice authorises reproduction of the website's documents with acknowledgement, and the taxonomy licence grants the right to reproduce and distribute the taxonomy package. Mirrored copies must carry the acknowledgement and, for taxonomy files, a copy of the licence.

This document has been drafted using material downloaded from EIOPA website; EIOPA does not endorse this publication and in no way is liable for copyright or other intellectual property rights infringements nor for any damages caused to third-parties through this publication.

What could not be verified

Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.

EUR-Lex (eur-lex.europa.eu) answered HTTP 202 with an empty body, a bot challenge, to plain automated requests on 2026-11-11, so it was not used. Legal texts are linked to the same official texts in the Publications Office of the EU repository (publications.europa.eu, Cellar), found through its SPARQL endpoint. All nine Cellar files were downloaded and hashed at about 08:00 to 08:20 UTC on 2026-11-11; from about 09:15 UTC the same day Cellar answered HTTP 500 ('Cannot retrieve FILE metadata') for file requests until about 10:30 UTC, while its SPARQL endpoint kept working; after that all nine links and hashes checked out again.
www.eiopa.europa.eu often answers HTTP 429 (rate limit) to automated requests; pages and files there needed several slow retries on 2026-11-11, so a link check can fail for that reason alone. Two files never answered with 200 after at least four attempts each, spaced minutes apart: the English PDF of the Guidelines on reporting and public disclosure (the publication page is listed instead) and EIOPA-BoS-2026-084, the revised branch guidelines applicable from 30 January 2027 (the March 2026 draft in Annex VI of EIOPA-26-081 is listed instead).
No amending or replacing ITS on supervisory reporting or on public disclosure was found in the Official Journal (Publications Office SPARQL search, 2026-11-11). Implementing Regulations (EU) 2023/894 and 2023/895 remain the published ITS; taxonomy 2.10.0 follows the draft amended ITS in EIOPA's final report EIOPA-26-081, submitted to the European Commission on 30 March 2026.
The taxonomy 2.10.0 entry points link their deactivation files at https://dev.eiopa.europa.eu/Taxonomy/Full/deactivations/2100/{module}-ignore-val.xml; these answered HTTP 404 on 2026-11-11 (not yet published), so only the 2.8.2 deactivation files are listed.
Template counts read from the taxonomy differ from the release notes in a few places: 2.8.2 Hotfix qfb has 9 template groups in the taxonomy but 7 in the release notes; in 2.10.0, ars, arb, aes, aeb and tep each have 2 more template groups in the taxonomy than in the release notes.
EIOPA's statistics page gives no separate figures for third-country branches, financial stability returns, special purpose vehicles or the technical entry point; whether branch data are included in the solo statistics was not confirmed.
The deadline that applies to the SFCR for financial year 2026 (old 14 and 20 weeks, or new 18 and 24 weeks) is not stated in any EIOPA document read; the roadmap covers only the reporting entry points.
National supervisors may set their own filing systems and formats for firms; this file does not list national portals.
