IEC 80000-14:2008

Quantities and units - Part 14: Telebiometrics related to human physiology

In IEC 80000-14:2008, names, symbols, and definitions for quantities and units of telebiometrics related to human physiology are given. This part of IEC 80000 encompasses quantities and units for physiological, biological or behavioural characteristics that might provide input or output to telebiometric identification or verification systems (recognition systems), including any known detection or safety thresholds. It also includes quantities and units concerned with effects on a human being caused by the use of a telebiometric device. International Standard IEC 80000-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 25: Quantities and units, and their letter symbols in co-operation with ISO/TC 12.

Grandeurs et unités - Partie 14: Télébiométrique relative à la physiologie humaine

La Norme Internationale CEI 80000-14:2008 donne les noms, les symboles et les définitions des grandeurs et les unités employées en télébiométrique relative à la physiologie humaine. Cette partie de la CEI 80000 contient les grandeurs et les unités concernant les caractéristiques physiologiques, biologiques et comportementales qui pourraient engendrer des entrées et des sorties pour les systèmes télébiométriques d'identification ou de vérification (systèmes de reconnaissance), y compris les seuils de détection ou de sécurité déjà connus. Elle contient aussi les grandeurs et les unités concernant les effets de l'utilisation d'appareils télébiométriques sur les êtres humains. La Norme internationale CEI 80000-14 a été établie par le comité d'études 25 de la CEI: Grandeurs et unités, et leurs symboles littéraux en collaboration avec le TC 12 de l'ISO.
