European requirements for biometric products - Part 1: General requirements and application profile definition cen:proj:77618

Scope

This document specifies a conformity assessment scheme for the evaluation of biometric products within the context of the European Union. The conformity assessment scheme is defined in a biometric modality-independent point of view, as well as not being biased by the particular application which is the target of the biometric product to be assessed.

This first part defines the following items:
• The actors involved in the conformity assessment
• Conformity assessment process
• Evaluation phases
• Operational risk assessment
• Policies and practices
• How to define the conformity assessment profile for a particular application

Note Additional parts are provided covering the specifics of each biometric modality. For each of these modalities, application-independent tests are defined, as well as a set of application profiles, that detail the applicable tests, the evaluation parameters, and the passing criteria.
