Non-life technical provisions: values to report together, or not at all (S.17.01, EIOPA rule BV840)

A blocking check on the non-life technical provisions template (S.17.01), in the quarterly solo (QRS) and quarterly branch (QRB) 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

For each LoB and Total in Non-Life Technical Provisions (S.17.01), if total best estimate - gross is reported then the corresponding risk margin must also be reported, and for each LoB and Total, if the risk margin is reported then the corresponding total best estimate - gross must also be reported

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.

What to do if your return fails it

  1. 01Open the table below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Report these values together, or leave them all out.
  3. 03It runs only when your filing indicators mark S.17.01 as reported.
  4. 04This is a blocking check. A return that fails it is normally rejected, so fix it before you submit.
