BoE: Solvency II: internal model reporting codes and components and life product codes

01 June 2015

This consultation paper (CP) seeks views on two draft supervisory statements: internal model reporting codes and components; and life product codes. The CP is of interest to all UK insurance firms and groups within the scope of Solvency II and to the Society of Lloyd’s.

Draft supervisory statement on internal model reporting codes and components

This draft supervisory statement sets out how the PRA expects internal model and partial internal firms to derive the ‘unique number of component’ for each component of the internal model.

Draft supervisory statement on life product codes

This draft supervisory statement sets the list of codes which the PRA expects firms to use when reporting information on life business or annuities stemming from non-life business at product level.

The products have been divided into main categories, which are similar to the categories used by Association of British Insurers (ABI) for its new business data collection:

This consultation closes on Friday 10 July 2015.
