The rule in plain words
The item "Diversification between sub-modules" reported in Solvency Capital Requirement - Non-life and Health catastrophe risk (IR.27.01.01.01) should be equal to the difference between "Total Non-life catastrophe risk after diversification" and "Total Non-life catastrophe risk before diversification"
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.
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 IR.27.01 as reported.
