3 min readBlockingEIOPA taxonomy 2.10.0Updated 11 November 2026

Balance sheet and 4 other templates: values must agree (S.02.01, S.22.01, S.23.01 and others, EIOPA rule BV66)

A blocking check on the balance sheet (S.02.01), impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals (S.22.01), own funds (S.23.01), minimum capital requirement - only life or only non-life insurance or reinsurance activity (S.28.01) and minimum capital requirement - both life and non-life insurance activity (S.28.02) templates, in the annual solo (ARS), annual group (ARG) 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 "Impact of all LTG measures and transitionals" reported in Impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals (S.22.01) must be equal to the difference between the value of "Without matching adjustment and without all the others" and the value of "Amount with LTG measures and transitionals"

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 (BV66-1 and BV66-2), 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.22.01 as reported.

EIOPA’s own words and formula

In EIOPA’s list of validations, word for word:

The item "Impact of all LTG measures and transitionals" reported in S.22.01 - Impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals must be equal to the difference between the value of "Without matching adjustment and without all the others" and the value of "Amount with LTG measures and transitionals".
Show the formulaShow

EIOPA's formula, for BV66-1. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0100, z: Z0001} = {t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0080, z: Z0001} - {t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0010, z: Z0001}

BV66-2:

{t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0100, z: Z0001} = {t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0080, z: Z0001} - {t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0010, z: Z0001}

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.
