Validation rules

1,096 rules, as counted from the FIN-FSA's published material. Software can run them exactly as published. Source

How they are written: A sheet in the table workbook with one rule per row: the rule itself as a formula over table cells in the column ValidationCode (for example 'VA01a(1020,10)=SUM(VA01a(102010,10):VA01a(102030,10))'), then the table code, start and end date, frequency, system code, severity and interval..

The same workbook is the table template for the return.

How they were counted

1,096 rows on the sheet 'FIN-FSA Validation rules' in the table workbook vk_lomakemalli_fi.xlsx, one per ValidationCode, none with an end date before 13 November 2026. Every rule has the severity 'Warning'.

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

Public data

Published only added up across firms. FIN-FSA's life/non-life insurance statistics page carries VK's subject (life insurers' insurance business) in its premiums-written and paid-compensation workbooks (current to 2026 Q2); the files read show Finland-wide totals, not figures by named insurer. Source

Where it is published (Excel)

  • Life and non-life insurance statistics, including foreign (EEA) insurers' operations in Finland

    Firm by firm · Excel

    Mixed, confirmed by opening files: the non-life 'result by insurance classes' workbook (2025_vm01c_tilasto_420.xlsx, the VM01c table) is a pivot table with a company selector defaulted to '(All)', so it carries firm-level data firm by firm even though the default view shows the total; it is 9.1 MB. The quarterly 'premium written and claims paid' workbooks and the EEA-insurers'-operations workbooks show Finland-wide or by-country totals only, with no firm named, so those parts are aggregate. Kept as 'firm-level' overall because the VM01c pivot is the one that matches a return in this file. Coverage is current (2026 Q2 for premium/claims, 2025 for EEA operations), not 'up to 2022' as an earlier version of this entry said. Source

Official documents (6)

The FIN-FSA's own files, with the size and SHA-256 fingerprint of each as downloaded on 13 November 2026, so anyone can tell whether a copy is the same version.
