INCITS/ISO/IEC 19795-1:2021 (2022)

Information technology - Biometric performance testing and reporting - Part 1: Principles and framework (Identical National Adoption of ISO/IEC 19795-1:2021)

Establishes general principles for testing the performance of biometric systems in terms of error rates and throughput rates for purposes including prediction of performance, comparison of performance, and verifying compliance with specified performance requirements. Specifies performance metrics for biometric systems. Specifies requirements on test methods, recording of data and reporting of results. Provides a framework for developing and describing test protocols, to help avoid bias due to inappropriate data collection or analytic procedures, to help achieve the best estimate of field performance for the expended effort, and to improve understanding of the limits of applicability of the test results.
