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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as
an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies casting a vote.
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.
Amendment 1 to ISO/IEC 19794-9:2011 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IEC JTC 1,

AMENDMENT 1: Conformance testing methodology
1. The following text is to be added to the "Introduction" clause of ISO/IEC 19794-9:
Annex A addresses the conformance testing to be used for interchange format defined in this part of
ISO/IEC 19794. This Annex A is distinct from ISO/IEC 29109-9, which addressed conformance testing only of
the first, 2007, edition of ISO/IEC 19794-9.

2. The following text is to be added to the "Scope" clause of ISO/IEC 19794-9:
This part of ISO/IEC 19794 also specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and
test procedures as applicable to this part of ISO/IEC 19794. Specifically, it establishes
 test assertions of the structure of the vascular image data format as specified in Clause 8 of this part of
ISO/IEC 19794 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1),
 test assertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that may be contained within each
field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1),
 tests of semantic assertions (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1).
The conformance testing methodology specified in this part of ISO/IEC 19794 does not establish
 tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products
(e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security),
 tests of conformance of systems that do not produce data records conforming to the requirements of this
part of ISO/IEC 19794.

3. The following text is to be added to the "Conformance" clause of ISO/IEC 19794-9:
Biometric data interchange format conformance tests conform to this part of ISO/IEC 19794 if they satisfy all
of the normative requirements set forth in Clauses 6, 7, and 8. Specifically, they shall use the test
methodology specified in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1, and all Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 tests shall use
the assertions defined in Table A.1 of Clause A.2 in this part of ISO/IEC 19794.
Implementations of this part of ISO/IEC 19794 tested according to the specified methodology shall be able to
claim conformance only to those biometric data record (BDB) requirements specified in this part of
ISO/IEC 19794 that are tested by the test methods established by this methodology.

---------------------- Page: 4 ----------------------
ISO/IEC 19794-9:2011/Amd.1:2013(E)
In consideration of the semantic specifics in different parts of ISO/IEC 19794, all Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3
tests shall use the assertions defined in Table A.2 of clause A.3 of this part of ISO/IEC 19794 in conformity
with the concept and rules set in ISO/IEC 19794-1, Annex A.

4. Replace the current Annex A with the following new annex:

This normative annex specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test
procedures as applicable to this part of biometric data interchange format standard.
The testing methodology specified in ISO/IEC 19794-1:2011/Amd.1 shall apply. The content of the tables

only be used in the context of that testing methodology.
A.2 Table of requirements in the base standard
The normative requirements of this part of ISO/IEC 19794 are listed in Table A.1. The supplier of the IUT
should explain which optional components of the standard are supported and the testing laboratory should
note the results of the test.
