# Article 57 — Reverse stress tests

**Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) No 153/2013 · binding · OJ L 52, 23.2.2013 · dated 19 Dec 2012 [in force]**

*In force · Consolidated version of 7 March 2024 · Verified 9 Nov 2026 · [Official source](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02013R0153-20240307)*

1. <a id="art-57-p-1"></a>A CCP shall conduct reverse stress tests which are designed to identify under which market conditions the combination of its margin, default fund and other financial resources may provide insufficient coverage of credit exposures and for which its liquid financial resources may be insufficient. When conducting such tests, a CCP shall model extreme market conditions that go beyond what are considered plausible market conditions, in order to help determine the limits of its models, its liquidity risk management framework, its financial resources and its liquid financial resources.

2. <a id="art-57-p-2"></a>A CCP shall develop reverse stress tests tailored to the specific risks of the markets and of the contracts that it provides clearing services for.

3. <a id="art-57-p-3"></a>A CCP shall use the conditions identified in paragraph 1 and the results and analysis of its reverse stress tests to help in identifying extreme but plausible scenarios in accordance with Chapter VII.

4. <a id="art-57-p-4"></a>A CCP shall periodically report its reverse stress testing results and analysis in a form that does not breach confidentiality to the risk committee in order to seek their advice in its review.
