Life and health SLT technical provisions: values must agree (S.12.01, EIOPA rule BV242_1)

A blocking check on the life and health SLT technical provisions template (S.12.01), in the annual solo (ARS) 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.

Check your file for this rule

The rule in plain words

The item "Total (Life other than health insurance, incl. Unit-Linked)" reported in Life and Health SLT Technical Provisions (S.12.01) must be equal to the sum of the relevant LoB

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.

This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit. It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.12.01 as reported.
