EBA releases revised ITS validation rules and new website location

The European Banking Authority (EBA) has issued a revised list of validation rules under its Implementing Technical Standards (ITS) on supervisory reporting. This update deactivates rules due to inaccuracies or IT issues. Competent Authorities across the EU are reminded that data submitted under these ITS should not be validated against deactivated rules.

The EBA has also released a small validation package, including a micro taxonomy package and Data Point Model validation rules (DPM VR) deactivation scripts. These components are required from release 4.0 for each deactivation exercise to ensure consistent rule deactivation in both the taxonomy and the DPM.

A hotfix for reporting framework 4.2 will be issued in January 2026. Any review of validation rules for this framework will be included in that hotfix. No changes affecting release 4.2 are included in the current publication.

The EBA has consolidated the validation rules and related technical documents, including the micro taxonomy package and DPM VR deactivation scripts, into a dedicated section on its website. This change improves access and usability by centralizing all relevant documents. Stakeholders are encouraged to update their bookmarks and refer to the new website location for the latest validation rules information.
