Information technology — Cross-jurisdictional and societal aspects of implementation of biometric technologies — Pictograms, icons and symbols for use with biometric systems — Part 1: General principles
ISO/IEC 24779-1:2016 multi-part International Standard specifies a family of icons and symbols used in association with devices for biometric enrolment, verification and/or identification. This part of ISO/IEC 24779 describes the approach used in specifying icons and the range of biometric technologies for which icon and symbol development is considered. The symbols and icons are intended to show the modality of biometrics and to advise the necessity of appropriate preparation for and behaviour required when using the biometric systems. They are also intended to assist subjects by guiding them as they use the biometric systems. ISO/IEC 24779-1:2016 Standard focuses on both enrolment and recognition processes. Icons and symbols used exclusively for biometric enrolment are not specified since most enrolment systems will be supervised, and an attendant will be available to explain to biometric capture subjects what to do. ISO/IEC 24779-1:2016 Standard focuses on communication with the data capture subject. Operators could use this part of ISO/IEC 24779, but they might need additional symbols and information.

Foreword
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. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Introduction
A major public application of biometric authentication today is likely to be passports, but in the near
future it is probable that biometric recognition will be used in other public terminals. These terminals
will be located in a variety of environments including unsupervised, a terminal supervised by an
attendant or only partly supervised – for example an attendant supervising a number of terminals or
observed via CCTV and an audio link.
With the widespread use of biometrics throughout the world today, this International Standard is
intended to provide the necessary symbols and icons that show the modality of biometrics and to advise
the necessity of appropriate preparation for and behaviour required when using biometric systems.
This International Standard is also intended to assist subjects by guiding them as they use biometric
systems and thus create a base of internationally recognized symbols and icons.
Language-independent symbols that indicate the modality of biometrics and/or instructions, such as
icons, will be particularly important for occasional users. In general, it is desirable for there to be more
than one mode of presentation (e.g. visual and audible or tactile). Only visual presentation is addressed
in this International Standard.
A standard family of icons and/or symbols is required since in the absence of widely used standard
icons and/or symbols manufacturers will adopt their own proprietary symbols and icons for display on
screens. This is likely to lead to confusion, as an example, for public users of self-service terminals.
Though common usage makes the distinction that icons are for display on visual display screens and
symbols are for printing on signs and in documents including: user documents, handouts, training
material, installation/maintenance manuals, and on the case or key tops and buttons of devices; but in
this International Standard no distinction is made between these terms.
There are no normative symbols in this International Standard, but it contains a collection of symbols
that may be used by biometric systems.
