scope:

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.
