Issues affecting all schemes

Pensions dashboards – updated standards

The Pensions Dashboards Programme has published updated versions of:

  • The dashboards code of connection – This sets out how schemes and dashboard providers are to connect to the dashboards ecosystem and what they need to do to remain connected. It details the mandatory requirements that must be met, as well as the recommended ways in which they should be implemented.
  • The dashboards data standards – These set out the data formatting requirements that schemes must follow when returning pensions data in response to view requests.
  • The dashboards reporting standards – These set out the requirements that schemes must comply with in relation to recording of operational information and the reporting of that information to the Money and Pensions Service.
