BS ISO/IEC 29197:2015

This standard BS ISO/IEC 29197:2015 Information technology. Evaluation methodology for environmental influence in biometric system performance is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.15 Identification cards and related devices
• 35.020 Information technology (IT) in general

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.
