The item "Total Non-Life obligation" reported in Non-Life Technical Provisions must be equal to the sum of the relevant LoB (S.17.01, EIOPA rule BV45)

A blocking check on the non-life technical provisions template (S.17.01), 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.

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

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table 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  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong cell, or the total is out of date.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.
