Scope:

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 review the Standard within the required 5 year period
