Retained or volunteer membership with a fire and rescue authority (within the meaning given to that term by Article 3 of the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006) on terms under which the retained or volunteer member is or may be required to engage in fire-fighting does not entitle the retained or volunteer member to be a member of the Scheme.

Any person who as a member of staff of the University of Ulster is eligible to participate in the Universities' Superannuation Scheme is not entitled to be a member of the Scheme.

A person who is a member and is an employee of a transferee admission body is treated as leaving a local government employment when he ceases to be employed in connection with the provision of a service or assets under regulation 4A(2) as a result of which employment he became eligible to join the Scheme.
