FinTech & RegTech Standardisation

European SMEs have been involved in European iterations of the IEEE 2089 project on age-appropriate design through a CEN/CENELEC working group.

The development of international standards on age assurance ensures uniformity in verifying age across borders, fostering trust in various sectors like healthcare, education, and online services. This consistency enhances child protection measures, promotes safer online environments, facilitates age-appropriate content access, and strengthens accountability in age-sensitive industries, benefiting society globally.
