This document:
— establishes general principles for testing the performance of biometrics systems in terms of error rates and throughput rates for purposes including measurement of performance, prediction of performance, comparison of performance, and verifying conformance with specified performance requirements;
— specifies performance metrics for biometric systems;
— specifies requirements on the recording of test data and reporting of test results; and
— specifies requirements on test protocols in order to:
— reduce bias due to inappropriate data collection or analytic procedures;
— help achieve the best estimate of field performance for the expended effort;
— improve understanding of the limits of applicability of the test results.
