The rule in plain words
The capital charge for income protection risk reported in S.26.04 -Solvency Capital Requirement - Health underwriting risk must be equal to the loss in the value of assets minus liabilities (before the loss absorbing capacity of technical provisions) after the shock, with a minimum of zero
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 (BV624_1-1 and BV624_1-2), 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 S.26.04 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), 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.
