Which formula is relevant ?

EIOPA answer

Please note that the Commission’s Delegated Act containing implementing rules for Solvency II have been published (Regulation 35/2015) and therefore this should be the relevant source to use.

In this case article 133 which specifies that the capital requirement for liability risk shall be equal to the following:

 

where: the sum includes all possible combinations of liability risk groups (i,j) as set out in Annex XI; Corr(liability,i,j) denotes the correlation coefficient for liability risk of liability risk groups i and j as set out in Annex XI and SCR(liability,i) denotes the capital requirement for liability risk of liability risk group i.
