BS ISO/IEC 24709-2:2007 - Page 5

This part of ISO/IEC 24709 defines a number of test assertions written in the assertion language specified in ISO/IEC 24709-1. These assertions enable a user of this part of ISO/IEC 24709 (such as a testing laboratory) to test the conformance to ISO/IEC 19784-1 (BioAPI 2.0) of any biometric service provider (BSP) that claims to be a conforming implementation of that International Standard.

The organization of the test assertions in this part of ISO/IEC 24709 reflects the structure of Annex A of ISO/IEC 19784-1:2006, which specifies conformance to BioAPI for various types of implementations (BSPs, frameworks, and applications) and for BSPs belonging to several conformance subclasses.
