The item "Total Non-Life obligation" reported in Non-Life Technical Provisions must be equal to the sum of the relevant LoB (S.02.01, S.17.01, S.23.01, EIOPA rule BV252_1)

A blocking check on the balance sheet (S.02.01), non-life technical provisions (S.17.01) and own funds (S.23.01) templates, in the quarterly solo (QRS), quarterly branch (QRB), 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.

The rule in plain words

The item "Total Non-Life obligation" reported in Non-Life Technical Provisions (S.17.01) must be equal to the sum of the relevant LoB

EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV252_1-1 and BV252_1-2), and a failure names the one that failed.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your return and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.17.01 as reported.
  6. 06This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

EIOPA's formula, for BV252_1-2. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: S.17.01.02.01, c: C0180} = sum({t: S.17.01.02.01, c: C0020; C0030; C0040; C0050; C0060; C0070; C0080; C0090; C0100; C0110; C0120; C0130; C0140; C0150; C0160; C0170})

BV252_1-1:

{t: S.17.01.01.01, c: C0180} = sum({t: S.17.01.01.01, c: C0020; C0030; C0040; C0050; C0060; C0070; C0080; C0090; C0100; C0110; C0120; C0130; C0140; C0150; C0160; C0170})
