The rule in plain words
The item "Excess of assets over liabilities" reported in Balance sheet (S.02.01) must be equal to the "Total assets" minus "Total liabilities"
EIOPA writes it out as separate checks, one for each table or return it covers. Line4 Check runs two of them (BV330_1-3 and BV330_1-7), 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.02.01 as reported.

EIOPA's formula, for BV330_1-3. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.
{t: S.02.01.02.01, r: R1000} = {t: S.02.01.02.01, r: R0500} - {t: S.02.01.02.01, r: R0900}BV330_1-7:
{t: S.02.01.08.01, r: R1000} = {t: S.02.01.08.01, r: R0500} - {t: S.02.01.08.01, r: R0900}Other rules on Balance sheet (S.02.01)
