Impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals: values must agree (S.22.01, EIOPA rule BV852)

A blocking check on the impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals template (S.22.01), 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 volatility adjustment set to zero" reported in Impact of long-term guarantees measures and transitionals (S.22.01) must be equal to the difference between the value of "Without volatility adjustment and without transitional measures" and the value of "Without transitional on interest rate"

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 (BV852-1 and BV852-2), 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 formula, for BV852-2. Cells are written as {t: table, r: row, c: column}.

{t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0070, z: Z0001} = {t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0060, z: Z0001} - {t: S.22.01.01.01, c: C0040, z: Z0001}

BV852-1:

{t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0070, z: Z0001} = {t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0060, z: Z0001} - {t: S.22.01.04.01, c: C0040, 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.
