Premiums, claims and expenses by line of business: a check on its values (S.05.01, EIOPA rule BV1186)

A warning on the premiums, claims and expenses by line of business template (S.05.01), in the quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly group (QRG), quarterly branch (QRB), annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual branch (ARB) returns.

It applies to 2.8.2 returns too, the release for the 2026 returns, and Line4 Check runs it there as well.

The rule in plain words

Value of premiums written and premiums earned should, in general, be positive or equal to zero, although there might be some exemptions

The headline gives only the template and the kind of check, because the rule is too long to say in a headline. The plain words above say all of it.

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV1186-1 and BV1186-2), and a failure names the one that failed.

This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.05.01 as reported.
