Templates (0)
The library lists no templates for this return.
EU return: the templates and instructions are defined by EIOPA. See the library's EIOPA entry eiopa/aes (docs/eiopa/aes.md), eiopa/ars (docs/eiopa/ars.md). Belgian firms use EIOPA's templates and taxonomy. NBB_2026_01 lists the same report codes for Belgian undertakings and for branches of non-EEA insurers; EIOPA's taxonomy has separate entry points for branches (eiopa/aeb). Source
Validation rules
The NBB 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: EIOPA validation rules in the EIOPA reporting framework (see the EIOPA entry); OneGate taxonomy checks.
The rules are EIOPA's. From reference period 30/09/2025 every file is forwarded to EIOPA in real time and a report can be closed in OneGate only when both the OneGate and the EIOPA validation reports show no errors. The NBB asks firms to avoid unnecessary zeros: more than 10% zeros gives a warning (05/02/2020 news). The CPA page publishes validation tests between the Solvency II reporting and the annual accounts (validatietests.pdf).
How they were counted
Not counted here: the EIOPA's validation rules apply (see eiopa/aes, eiopa/ars).
Counts are in the NBB's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.
Public data
Published only added up across firms. The NBB publishes aggregate statistical data on the insurers it supervises under Article 31(2)(c) of the Solvency II Directive (Template A: numbers of undertakings and amounts of assets, liabilities, technical provisions and own funds by year). No firm-by-firm data from this return are published by the NBB. Source
