DIN CEN/TS 16634 DIN SPEC 16570:2014-06

The Technical Specification CEN/TS 16634 primarily focuses on biometric aspects of Automated Border Control (ABC) systems. The best practice recommendations given here will help make border control authorities' processes more efficient, speeding up border clearance, and delivering an improved experience to travelers. ISO/IEC has published a series of standards dealing with biometric data coding, interfaces, performance tests as well as compliance tests. In order to promote global interoperability, it is essential that all these standards be applied in European deployments. However, these standards do not consider national or regional characteristics; in particular, they do not consider European Union privacy and data protection regulation as well as European accessibility and usability requirements. Thus, this Technical Specification amends the ISO/IEC standards with respect to special European conditions and constraints.
