The facts

Who files
The participating insurance or reinsurance undertaking, insurance holding company or mixed financial holding company at the head of a group under Solvency II group supervision, filed with the group supervisor (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, Articles 372 and 373; Solvency II Directive, Article 254). Source
How often
Quarterly, for each quarter end. Source
Deadline
Within 11 weeks of the end of each quarter: the solo deadline of 5 weeks plus 6 weeks (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/35, Article 373); the amended Directive keeps 11 weeks from 30 January 2027 (Article 254(3)). The group supervisor then has 2 more weeks to send the data to EIOPA. National supervisors may move a deadline that falls on a non-working day, so firms should check their own supervisor's date. Source
Format
XBRL-XML. Firms file in the data exchange formats set by their national supervisor or group supervisor (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/894, Article 1). National supervisors send the data on to EIOPA as XBRL 2.1 instance documents built on EIOPA's Solvency II taxonomy (EIOPA decision EIOPA-BoS-21/517, Article 6), following EIOPA's XBRL Filing Rules and applying the taxonomy's validation rules (Article 8).

Validation rules

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

How they are written: XBRL Formula 1.0 assertions in the taxonomy package (linked from mod/qrg.xsd), listed in an Excel workbook with an 'Expression' column; EIOPA switches rules off between releases through the qrg-ignore-val.xml deactivation file..

EIOPA's Guidelines on reporting and public disclosure include the mandatory application of the validation rules published by EIOPA (List of Validations). ERROR rules must pass for a report to be accepted; WARNING rules flag possible errors without blocking the report.

The rules, on dev.eiopa.europa.eu

How they were counted

Rows of sheet 'Business Validation 2.8.2 HF' in EIOPA_SolvencyII_Validations_2.8.2_Hotfix.xlsx (updated 10 November 2026) whose 'Severity and modules' column names qrg and whose 'Deactivated' column is 'no': 411 (333 ERROR, 78 WARNING; 397 marked 'Include in XBRL' yes). 9 more rows name qrg but are deactivated. For 2.10.0, sheet 'Business Validation 2.10.0' of EIOPA_SolvencyII_Validations_2.10.0.xlsx (last update 30 June 2026) names qrg in 433 rows (336 ERROR, 97 WARNING; 419 'Include in XBRL' yes), none deactivated.

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