The rule in plain words
The item "Total Non-life catastrophe risk before diversification" reported in Solvency Capital Requirement - Non-life and Health catastrophe risk (S.27.01) must be equal to the sum of "Natural catastrophe risk", "Catastrophe risk non-proportional property reinsurance", "Man-made catastrophe risk" and "Other non-life catastrophe risk"
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 (BV264_1-1 and BV264_1-2), and a failure names the one that failed.
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.27.01 as reported.

Which returns it applies to
Line4 Check runs it on annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) and annual branch (ARB) returns on EIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0. EIOPA applies it to annual branch (ARB), annual solo (ARS), annual ECB solo (AES), annual ECB branch (AEB) and annual group (ARG) returns, as a blocking check.

Checks like this one, run at the point of submission, are the first step to real-time supervision. Line4 builds SupTech software for financial regulators that runs checks like these as each return arrives.
