(9)The provisions on the application of overrides in the IRB Approach also apply to specialised lending exposures. Therefore, the institutions are allowed, exceptionally, not to apply a certain sub-factor or sub-factor component, for an individual specialised lending exposure, where they find it not to be relevant. Institutions should also be allowed, exceptionally, not to apply a certain sub-factor or sub-factor component for all specialised lending exposures belonging to a type of exposures as defined in point (2) of Article 142(1) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 when that sub-factor or sub-factor component is not a relevant risk driver for that type of specialised lending exposures. The institutions should be required to document the decision not to apply a sub-factor or a sub-factor component and to provide a justification for it.
