# Occupational Pension Schemes (Contracting-out) Regulations 1996, Paragraph 6


Where the scheme calculates pensions by different methods for different members, the actuary—
(a) must decide whether the pensions provided under each method are broadly equivalent to, or better than, the pensions which would be provided under a reference scheme, and
(b) must not complete a reference scheme test certificate for any members whose pensions are calculated by a method which does not provide pensions that are broadly equivalent to, or better than, the pensions which would be provided under a reference scheme.
