Scope : CAN/CSA-ISO/IEC 17839-2:16

This part of ISO/IEC 17839 defines the following: 

  • dimensions of a Biometric System-on-Card type S1 and type S2; 
  • position and size of the biometric capture device; 
  • minimum requirements to a Biometric System-on-Card with respect to - mechanical durability, and 
  • man-machine interface and ergonomics. 

The standardization of other on-card devices such as an electronic display or a keypad is outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 17839.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the ICT subject area (adoption of new standard. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of P123 Technical Committee on Information Technology. It will provide the industry with the latest requirements in the field of ICT, including cybersecurity and software. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users.
