ISO/IEC FDIS 29197

Description / Abstract: This International Standard addresses

— fundamental requirements for planning and execution of environmental performance evaluations for biometric systems based on scenario and operational test methodologies,

— specifications to define, establish, and measure specific conditions to assess, including requirements for equipment,

— requirements for establishing a baseline performance in order to compare the influence of environmental parameters,

— a specification of the biometric evaluation including requirements for test population, test protocols, data to record, and test results, and

— procedures for carrying out the overall evaluation.

This International Standard does not

— determine which parameters should be analysed for a specific biometric modality (This is currently covered in ISO/IEC/TR 19795-3.),

— specify requirements to perform a vulnerability analysis modifying environmental factors (This is covered by ISO/IEC 19792.),

— classify biometric systems upon performance against different environmental conditions, or

— specify requirements for determining the functional effects of environmental conditions on hardware components (such as corrosion, electrical interference, breakage, etc.) of biometric systems.
