Preface:

Standards development within the Information Technology sector is harmonized with international standards development. Through the CSA Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCIT), Canadians serve as the SCC Mirror Committee (SMC) on ISO/IEC Joint Technical Committee 1 on Information Technology (ISO/IEC JTC1) for the Standards Council of Canada (SCC), the ISO member body for Canada and sponsor of the Canadian National Committee of the IEC. Also, as a member of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), Canada participates in the International Telegraph and Telephone Consultative Committee (ITU-T).

This Standard has been formally approved, without modification, by the Technical Committee and has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group.

Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 29109 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 19794-9.

It specifies

• test assertions of the structure of the vascular image data format as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-9:2007 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1),
• test assertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that can be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1).

It does not specify

• a test of conformance of CBEFF structures required by ISO/IEC 19794-9:2007,
• a test of consistency with an input biometric data record (Level 3),
• a test of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security),
• a test of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 19794-9:2007 records.
