The rule in plain words
The non-life best estimate, reported in Balance sheet (SR.02.01) [RFF/MP/RM], must be equal to the sum of the "Total Best estimate - gross" and "Amount of the transitional on Technical Provisions-Best estimate" reported in Non-Life Technical Provisions (SR.17.01) [RFF/MP/RM]
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 (BV393_2-2-3 and BV393_2-2-4), and a failure names the one that failed.
What to do if your return fails it
- 01Open the tables below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02The check applies only when its first part holds in your return. When it does, the second part must hold too: fix the second part, or correct the first.
- 03EIOPA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 04It runs only when your filing indicators mark SR.01.01, SR.02.01 and SR.17.01 as reported.
- 05This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.

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