Basic information: the format of a code or text (S.01.02, EIOPA rule BV1244)

The rule in plain words

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.

What to do if your return fails it

1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
2. 02Compare the code or text in your return with the format the rule sets out, character by character, including any prefix and any spaces.
3. 03This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
