CEN/TS 16634:2014

Personal identification - Recommendations for using biometrics in European Automated Border Control

This Technical Specification primarily focuses on biometric aspects of Automated Border Control (ABC) systems. Drawing on the first European and international ABC deployments, it aims to disseminate best practice experiences with a view to ensure consistent security levels in European ABC deployments. Furthermore, the best practice recommendations given here shall help make border control authorities' processes more efficient, speeding up border clearance, and delivering an improved experience to travellers.
ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 37 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 are 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 [22]. Thus, this Technical Specification amends the ISO standards with respect to special European conditions and constraints.
The Technical Specification systematically discusses issues to be considered when planning and deploying biometric systems for ABC and gives best practice recommendations for those types of systems that are or will be in use in Europe. The document deals with personal identification including ergonomic aspects that have an impact on the acquisition of biometric data.
Communication, infrastructure scalability and security aspects other than those related to biometrics are not considered. This document also does not consider hardware and security requirements of biometric equipment and does not recommend general border crossing procedures.
The enrolment process, e. g. for electronic passports, is out of scope of this document.

Persönliche Identifikation - Empfehlungen für den Einsatz von Biometrie bei der automatisierten Grenzübergangskontrolle in Europa

Identification personnelle - Recommandations pour l’usage de la biométrie lors des contrôles automatisés aux frontières de l’Europe

Osebna identifikacija - Priporočila za uporabo biometrije pri evropskem avtomatiziranem mejnem nadzoru

Tehnična specifikacija CEN/TS 16634 se osredotoča predvsem na biometrične vidike sistemov avtomatiziranega mejnega nadzora. Njen namen je razširjanje izkušenj najboljše prakse, da se zagotovi dosledno raven varnosti pri izvajanju evropskega avtomatiziranega mejnega nadzora, pri čemer se opira na prve izvedbe evropskega in mednarodnega avtomatiziranega mejnega nadzora. Poleg tega bodo navedena priporočila najboljše prakse pomagala pri povečanju učinkovitosti postopkov, ki jih izvajajo organi mejne kontrole, povečala hitrost prehoda meje in izboljšala izkušnjo potnikov. ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 37 je objavil serijo standardov, ki obravnavajo biometrično kodiranje podatkov, vmesnike, preskuse izvedbe in preskuse skladnosti. Za spodbujanje svetovne medoperabilnosti je uporaba teh standardov v evropskih izvedbah ključnega pomena. Vendar ti standardi ne upoštevajo nacionalnih ali regionalnih značilnosti; zlasti ne upoštevajo uredbe o varovanju zasebnosti in varstvu podatkov ter evropskih zahtev po dostopnosti in uporabnosti [22]. Tako ta tehnična specifikacija dopolnjuje standarde ISO na področju posebnih evropskih pogojev in omejitev. Tehnična specifikacija sistematično obravnava težave, ki jih je treba obravnavati pri načrtovanju in izvedbi biometričnih sistemov pri avtomatiziranem mejnem nadzoru, in daje priporočila glede najboljše prakse pri tistih vrstah sistemov, ki so ali bodo uporabljeni v Evropi. Dokument obravnava identifikacijo oseb, vključno z ergonomskimi vidiki, ki vplivajo na pridobivanje biometričnih podatkov. Komunikacija, nadgradljivost infrastrukture in vidiki varnosti, ki niso povezani z biometrijo, niso vključeni. Ta dokument prav tako ne obravnava zahtev strojne opreme in varnosti biometrične opreme in ne daje priporočil glede splošnih postopkov prečkanja meje. Prav tako področje uporabe tega dokumenta ni postopek vnašanja, npr. za elektronske potne liste.

This Technical Specification (CEN/TS) was approved by CEN on 11 November 2013 for provisional application.

The period of validity of this CEN/TS is limited initially to three years. After two years the members of CEN will be requested to submit their
comments, particularly on the question whether the CEN/TS can be converted into a European Standard.

CEN members are required to announce the existence of this CEN/TS in the same way as for an EN and to make the CEN/TS available
