Full title and description

Information technology — Cross jurisdictional and societal aspects of implementation of biometric technologies — Biometrics and children. This technical report provides targeted guidance for deployments of biometric recognition systems where children are included as subjects, building on broader cross‑jurisdictional recommendations for biometric systems.

Abstract

ISO/IEC TR 30110:2015 supplements general guidance in ISO/IEC TR 24714‑1 by addressing specific requirements and societal considerations that arise when biometric technologies are implemented for or with children as subjects (for example enrolment, consent/parental authority, data protection, age‑related biometric changes and system suitability). The report is concise and intended for users and deployers of biometric recognition systems.

Core bibliographic and status information taken from the ISO record and the IEC/ISO publication listings.

Scope

Provides guidance for users of biometric recognition systems on requirements and societal/jurisdictional considerations specific to deployments that include children as subjects. Topics include how to treat enrolment, consent and parental/guardian involvement, handling of age‑related changes in biometric characteristics, safeguarding privacy and data protection, and considerations for limiting risk and potential misuse when minors are involved in biometric processes. The document is informative (technical report) rather than normative and is intended to supplement more general cross‑jurisdictional biometric guidance.

Key topics and requirements

• Guidance on consent, parental/guardian authority and legal considerations when collecting children’s biometric data.
• Recommendations on enrolment practices and handling of age‑related biometric variability (growth and maturation effects).
• Privacy, data protection and retention considerations specific to minors.
• Operational recommendations for system suitability, risk minimization and avoiding misuse of child biometric data.
• Alignment with broader cross‑jurisdictional and societal guidance for biometric systems (reference to ISO/IEC TR 24714 series).

Key topics summarized from the technical report and its relationship to existing TR guidance for biometric systems.

Typical use and users

Intended for planners, implementers, system operators, procurement officers, privacy/data protection officers and policy makers considering biometric deployments involving children. Typical uses include advising system design and enrolment policies for educational, healthcare, identity and access control applications where minors may be enrolled or identified.

Related standards

Related and complementary documents include ISO/IEC TR 24714 (general cross‑jurisdictional and societal guidance for biometric systems), the ISO/IEC 19794 series (biometric data interchange formats), and the ISO/IEC 30107 series (presentation attack detection). These documents together address lifecycle, data format, security and anti‑spoofing aspects relevant when designing systems for children.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO/IEC TR 30110:2015 is a technical report offering guidance on cross‑jurisdictional and societal aspects of implementing biometric technologies specifically where children are involved as subjects.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers practical and societal considerations — such as consent/parental authority, enrolment practice, age‑related biometric changes, privacy and retention — and how these should be treated when deploying biometric recognition systems involving children. The report supplements broader guidance in the ISO/IEC TR 24714 family.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Planners, implementers, system integrators, operators, procurement teams, privacy/data protection officers and public authorities who design or operate biometric systems that will include children as subjects.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The report was published on 4 November 2015 (Edition 1.0). It remains published/active in ISO/IEC records; related higher‑level TR/standards in the series (for example ISO/IEC 24714 general guidance) have been revised since, so users should consult both TR 30110 and the latest editions of the related TRs/standards when applying recommendations.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37 family of biometric standards and technical reports and explicitly builds on the ISO/IEC TR 24714 guidance; it is complementary to the ISO/IEC 19794 (data formats) and ISO/IEC 30107 (presentation attack detection) series.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Biometrics, children, consent, enrolment, privacy, cross‑jurisdictional, societal aspects, biometric guidance.
