DoD Biometric Conformity Assessment Initiative
Abstract
The comprehensive discipline of conformity assessment involves conformance testing activities and the certification of information systems to ensure that adopted standards are met. This article provides an overview of conformity assessment, and details the steps the DoD Biometrics Management Office (BMO) and its subordinate technology center, the DoD Biometrics Fusion Center (BFC), have underway to establish such a conformity assessment program for the implementation of interoperable biometric technologies. With such a program implemented, DoD components will adhere to DoD policies that emphasize the need for conformity assessment activities to ensure the interoperability of forces, equipment, and processes.
