BS ISO/IEC 19794-5:2011+A2:2015

This standard BS ISO/IEC 19794-5:2011+A2:2015 Information technology. Biometric data interchange formats is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.15 Identification cards and related devices

This part of ISO/IEC 19794

• specifies a record format for storing, recording, and transmitting the information from one or more facial images or a short video stream of facial images,

• specifies scene constraints of the facial images,

• specifies photographic properties of the facial images,

• specifies digital image attributes of the facial images,

• provides best practices for the photography of faces.

This part of ISO/IEC 19794 also specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to this part of ISO/IEC 19794. It establishes test assertions pertaining to the structure of the face image data format (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1), test assertions pertaining to internal consistency of the types of values that may be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1), and semantic test assertions (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1).

The conformance testing methodology specified in this part of ISO/IEC 19794 does not establish:

• tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security),

• tests of conformance of systems that do not produce data records conforming to the requirements of this part of ISO/IEC 19794.
