In reality, column 020 indicates the type of code to identify the third-party ICT service provider indicated in column 010. Consequently, shouldn't the validation rule be correct that the check should be made on column 010 and not 030? ### Background Expression of validation rule v8821\_m with{tB\_05.01, default:0, interval: false}: if({c0020} = \[eba\_qCO:qx2000\]) then ( (match({c0030}, "^\[A-Z0-9\]{18}\[0-9\]{2}$"))) endif *** ### Answer This question has been rejected because the matter it refers to has been answered in the Frequently Asked Questions (see in particular No. 13). *** **Source:** [EBA original document](https://www.eba.europa.eu/single-rule-book-qa/qna/view/publicId/2025_7341) ## Related Level 1 articles - [Article 28 — General principles](../../../articles/28.md)
