Client Use of AIR Documentation in Company Model Validation Documents
AIR Solvency II guides contain information from proprietary and confidential documents intended for use by AIR clients subject to the restrictions of the confidentiality provisions set forth in license and nondisclosure agreements, clearly distinguishable by confidentiality statements within the documents themselves. AIR clients may utilize excerpts and exhibits from AIR documents for the purposes of meeting Solvency II model validation requirements if the information is appropriately referenced, including the title of the AIR document and the numbers of any figures or tables used. If such excerpts are used, the client’s model documentation may only be circulated within the company itself and to the regulator, according to existing licensing and nondisclosure agreements.
Non-Client Access to AIR Documentation
As an entity that receives AIR model output, access to AIR Documentation may be requested to meet Solvency II requirements. Where appropriate, AIR documentation may be shared with non-clients in the context of Solvency II once a binding nondisclosure agreement has been signed.
Disclosure of AIR Documentation to Regulators
As a regulatory body, access to AIR documentation may be requested. AIR documentation may be shared with regulators in the context of Solvency II once a binding nondisclosure agreement has been signed.
