DPM methodology and XBRL are the standard for reporting data submission between EIOPA and national competent authorities.
EIOPA implemented the DPM methodology and the XBRL as the standard for reporting data submission between EIOPA and national competent authorities following a decision of the Board of Supervisors on Collection of Information by EIOPA and a decision of the Board of Supervisors on the reporting of the pan-European Personal Pension Product key information document.

Taxonomy releases and reporting deadlines (last updated on 15/11/2024)
The EIOPA Taxonomy Roadmap includes the reporting deadlines and the applicable taxonomy versions per reporting frameworks.
Information on the releases in production
NACE 2.1 implementation
For Q1/Q2/Q3 2025 reporting reference periods undertakings must continue to report according to the NACE 2.0 classification for all reporting frameworks (SII, IORPs, PEPP Prudential, FICOD). If not available by the data provider, the NACE 2.1 codes must be mapped to the 2.0 codes as it is not possible to report the NACE 2.1 codes under the current taxonomy releases.
Please see Q&A 2931 - NACE 2.1 - EIOPA
Relevant templates:
| Solvency II | S.06.02.01.02 C0230; S.06.02.04.02 C0230; S.06.02.07.02 C0230; SE.06.02.16.02 C0230; SE.06.02.18.02 C0230; S.11.01.01.02 C0190; S.11.01.04.02 C0190; S.37.01.04.01 C0100; S.37.02.04.02 C0050 |
| FICOD | FC.06.01.36.01 FC0060; FC.07.01.36.02 FC0040 |
| Pension Funds | PF.06.02.24.02 C0170; PF.06.02.25.02 C0170; PF.06.02.26.02 C0170; PFE.06.02.30.02 C0170; PFE.06.02.31.02 C0170 |
| PEPP PR | PP.06.02.33.02 C0170 |
As from Q4/Annual 2025 reporting reference periods, EIOPA will publish an “optional” hotfix for all the reporting frameworks (SII, IORPs, PEPP Prudential, FICOD) to allow reporting NACE 2.1 codes as well (besides the NACE 2.0 codes).
Technically, this hotfix will maintain the same schemas and entry points as the current system (i.e. it is not a corrective release). It will introduce new columns, metrics, and categories/hierarchies specifically for NACE 2.1 codes, with these enhancements added as new items in the xBRL dictionaries.
The update will be instance backwards compatible, allowing entities that continue to use only NACE 2.0 to remain with the previous taxonomy release. Therefore, only those undertakings and pension funds that need to report using NACE 2.1 codes from the Q4/Annual 2025 reporting periods will be required to implement this hotfix.
Further details will be available in the release notes of the Public Working Drafts in the second half of May 2025.
2.8.2 (Solvency II minor release)
EIOPA has been continuously monitoring the submissions under the 2.8.0 Solvency II taxonomy and the relevant issues and decided that the high number of issues that require additional workaround must be corrected. As the corrections are extended compared to a usual hotfix and the version is already in use, EIOPA decided to release it as 2.8.2 minor release, also due to IT implementation reasons.
2.8.2 has been published on 15 October 2024 and it is applicable from the Q42024 / annual 2024 reference periods until new release is announced.
2.8.0 (Solvency II)
The 2.8.0 Solvency II release was the one to be used by the insurance and reinsurance undertakings and branches from third country insurance undertakings from the reference period Q4-2023 until Q3-2024 and includes changes only to Solvency II [(EU) 2023/894 - ITS with regards to the templates for the submission of information necessary for supervision (applicable as of 31/12/2023)], but no changes to Pension Funds nor to PEPP. The final version of 2.8.0 with validations was published on 17 March 2023, the 2.8.0 Hotfix on 13 October 2023.
2.9.0 (Pension Funds)
The Pension Funds 2.9.0 taxonomy is applicable from Q1/2025 reporting reference period and applies only to Pension Funds (IORPs). 2.9.0 Hotfix was published on 16 July 2024.
2.7.0 and 2.7.1 (PEPP and Pension Funds)
The 2.7.0 release was the one to be used from the reference period Q4-2022 and includes the PEPP Prudential (PEPP PR) integration for Solvency II and Pension Funds frameworks, as well as PEPP PR standalone reporting. The release 2.7.1 includes only the reflection of Croatia entering the Euro-Zone. PEPP standalone reporting remains to use 2.7.0 release until new taxonomy is announced. Pension Funds (IORPs) 2.7.1 was applicable until Q4/2024 included (2.9.0 is from Q1/2025).
2.8.1 (FICOD)
Regarding the 2.8.1 release for FICOD (Financial Conglomerates), it is a standalone (not integrated) cross-sectoral version to be used for reporting of insurance led conglomerates until a new release is announced. The final version was published on 31 July 2023 and the Hotfix on 6 November 2023. The application date was 31 December 2023 with first reporting in 2024.
