Standards

Standards

A lot of work has been done on the development of biometric standards. If you would like to find out more, purchase any standards or participate in the development of biometric standards, please contact your national standards body. Please find below some links that may be useful at the bottom of this page:

 

International Standards

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National Bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity.

You can purchase the ISO standards documents through your national standards body (some for free and others at a cost).

In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a Joint Technical Committee 1: ISO/IEC JTC 1 on Information Technology.

  • ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 37 on Biometrics Overview of published standards under SC37
