For each LoB and Total in Non-Life Technical Provisions, "Risk margin" for Medical expense insurance must not be negative (S.17.01, EIOPA rule BV841_1)

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
