Question
When a clarification is provided by EIOPA that certain fields are not applicable for a given scenario does it mean that providing data under such circumstances will fail the XBRL validation?
EIOPA answer
In fact there is not a single answer as it depends on the IT implementation. Two different situations occur:
1. There can be a blocking formula to verify that for given scenario a column must be empty. If this is not fulfilled then instance file must be rejected automatically.
2. Some cases are reflected in filing rules.
This is to be seen on a case-by-case situation. For the example given, for CIC71 please see validation BV4, BV5 and BV6”
