The rule in plain words
The template Solvency Capital Requirement - Simplifications (S.26.07) should be reported if any simplification in S.26.01, S.26.03, S.26.04 (except simplifications for the articles 95a, 96a and 102a) or any natural catastrophe risk simplification in S.27.01 has been applied (except for the simplification for captives for market risk concentration in S.26.01)
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 three of them (BV653_2-9 to BV653_2-12), 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.
- 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.01.01, S.26.03 and S.27.01 as reported.
- 04This is a warning. It does not stop the return on its own, but your supervisor may ask you to explain it.

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 group (ARG) and annual solo (ARS) returns, as a warning.
EIOPA’s own words and formula
In EIOPA’s list of validations, word for word:
The template S.26.07 - Solvency Capital Requirement - Simplifications should be reported if any simplification in S.26.01, S.26.03, S.26.04 (except simplifications for the articles 95a, 96a and 102a) or any natural catastrophe risk simplification in S.27.01 has been applied (except for the simplification for captives for market risk concentration in S.26.01).

Every Solvency II rule on S.01.01
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.
