BS ISO/IEC 19795-4:2008

This standard BS ISO/IEC 19795-4:2008 Information technology. Biometric performance testing and reporting is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.15 Identification cards and related devices

This part of ISO/IEC 19795 prescribes methods for technology and scenario evaluations of multi-supplier biometric systems that use biometric data conforming to biometric data interchange format standards.

It specifies requirements needed to assess

• performance available from samples formatted according to a standard interchange format (SIF),

• performance available when samples formatted according to a SIF are exchanged,

• performance available from samples formatted according to a SIF, relative to proprietary data formats,

• SIF interoperability, by quantifying cross-product performance relative to single-product performance,

• performance available from multi-sample and multimodal data formatted according to one or more SIFs, and

• performance interoperability of biometric capture devices.

In addition, this part of ISO/IEC 19795

• includes procedures for establishing an interoperable set of implementations,

• defines procedures for testing interoperability with previously established sets of implementations, and

• gives testing procedures for the measurement of interoperable performance.

It does not

• establish a conformance test for biometric data interchange formats, or

• provide test procedures for online data collection.
