What changed

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has released a revised package of validation rules for its Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting. This update addresses inaccuracies and IT issues by deactivating certain rules, reactivating others, and modifying the severity status of some. Additionally, a new micro taxonomy package and DPM validation rules update scripts are introduced for release 4.0 onwards, embedding validation rules directly into the taxonomy and DPM for enhanced consistency and traceability.

Competent Authorities are reminded not to validate data against deactivated rules. Reporting institutions using release 4.0 or later must ensure their systems are aligned with the updated taxonomy and DPM, as these components are now integrated. While this update primarily concerns the technical aspects of reporting validation, adherence to the correct rule set is crucial for accurate and harmonised supervisory reporting across the EU.

What to do next

Review updated ITS validation rules for accuracy and IT-related issues.
Ensure data submission processes do not validate against deactivated rules.
Prepare for integration of DPM 2.0 validation rules from release 4.0 onwards.

The EBA issues revised list of ITS validation rules

News
17 March 2026

The European Banking Authority (EBA) issued today an updated list of validation rules under its Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting. The revised package identifies rules that (i) have been deactivated due to inaccuracies or IT-related issues, (ii) have been reactivated, or (iii) have undergone a severity status change.

Competent Authorities across the EU are reminded that data submitted in accordance with these ITS should not be formally validated against any rules that have been deactivated.

In addition, the EBA has released a small validation rules package, which includes:

a micro taxonomy package and
Data Point Model (DPM) validation rules updates scripts. These components are required from release 4.0 onwards for each validation rules updates exercise. They ensure consistent amendments to the rules in both the taxonomy and the DPM. With the introduction of DPM 2.0 from release 4.0 onwards, validation rules are now embedded directly into both the taxonomy and DPM. This integration enhances consistency in implementation by reporting institutions, improves traceability of changes, and contributes to a more efficient and harmonised supervisory reporting process.
