0.    INTRODUCTION

       This specification provides the definition of the Reinsurance
       calculation message (RECALC) to be used in Electronic Data
       Interchange (EDI) between trading partners involved in
       administration, commerce and transport.

1.    SCOPE

1.1   Functional Definition

       RECALC is a generic message used in reinsurance environment to
       show various types of calculation that are either based on the
       loss ratio or on the technical result of a reinsurance contract
       or program, mainly in the area of commissions and commission
       adjustments and in stop loss claims. This message supports
       results shown in the RETACC message.

1.2   Field of Application

       The Reinsurance calculation message may be used for both
       national and international applications. It is based on
       universal practice related to administration, commerce and
       transport, and is not dependent on the type of business or
       industry.

1.3   Principles

       A reinsurance technical account (catered for in the RETACC
       message) is only acceptable by the receiver if certain figures
       are supported by specific calculations, in which the sender
       explains how he arrived at these figures. This message
       specifically caters for profit commissions, sliding scale
       commissions, loss participation, additional commissions profit
       related, and stop loss claims.
