Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 29794, for any or all biometric sample types as necessary, establishes the following: 

  • terms and definitions that are useful in the specification and use of quality metrics; 
  • purpose and interpretation of biometric quality scores; 
  • encoding of quality data fields in biometric data interchange formats; 
  • methods for developing biometric sample datasets for the purpose of quality score normalisation; 
  • format for exchange of quality algorithm results; 
  • methods for aggregation of quality scores. 


The following are outside the scope of this part of ISO/IEC 29794: 

  • specification of minimum requirements for sample, module, or system quality scores; 
  • performance assessment of quality algorithms; 
  • standardization of quality algorithms.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
