Impact on SMEs (1st Open Call)

SMEs will be strongly impacted by the future set of harmonised standards in support of the AI Act. One of the aims of the JTC 21 is to provide standards that are innovation-friendly and actionable. Following JTC 21/WG 1 work, a dedicated AHG (AHG 9) has been set up to support SMEs.

Impact on SMEs (4th Open Call)

This project clarifies for SMEs when they use standards related to trustworthiness characteristics, as conformity assessment for those characteristics will be done for defined domains and operating conditions.

Impact on SMEs (8th Open Call)

The future JTC21 harmonized standards will impact every organisations involved in highrisk AI systems and willing to put their product on the EU market. Those future harmonised standards aim also at protecting health, safety and fundamental rights and have therefore an impact on European societies.

Impact on society (1st Open Call)

My work supports AI trustworthiness characteristics such as robustness, human oversight, accuracy, cybersecurity, and transparency (all those are requirements from the AI Act).

Impact on society (4th Open Call)

The impact is potentially significant worldwide, as the European regulation on AI and its subsequent harmonised standards will be followed by any international company that wants to do business in Europe.

Description of Activities

The main challenge is that some industry players dominate national bodies and want to promote their own product by making contributions to the industry standard.

Impact on SMEs (2nd Open Call)

Standardised biometric data formats enable interoperability and exchanging system components like biometric capture devices, algorithms, storage systems. This is of relevance for SMEs who typically provide only a single component rather than an entire solution like industry leading large corporations – which sometimes may rely on proprietary data formats.

Impact on SMEs (5th Open Call)

The interoperability achieved with this standard helps particularly SMEs who typically provide only a single component to a BSoC while larger corporations could provide an entire solution which may be proprietary.

Impact on SMEs (7th Open Call)

The standard promotes Biometric System-on-Card architecture, characteristics and interfaces. It is a technology that improves security and privacy for citizens in Europe and beyond, because personal data remains on a personal card. The interoperability achieved with this standard helps particularly SMEs who typically provide only a single component to a BSoC while larger corporations could provide an entire solution which may be proprietary.

Impact on society (2nd Open Call)

Biometric user authentication is present in many applications, including not only smartphone usage but also banking, national ID, healthcare and border management. Citizens in Europe and beyond benefit from the use of open standards in civil and governmental applications allowing transparency, privacy and guaranteed level of service.

Impact on society (7th Open Call)

Technology for Biometric System-on-Card (BSoC) has advanced significantly since the first publication of the ISO/IEC 17839 series from 2014-2016. This made an amendment of part 2 necessary in 2021 and a revision started 2022/2023. The major gaps are that the currently published standards partially refer to outdated technology and do not cover many recent industry developments in the field of BSoC. This includes enrolment methodologies, sensor and card manufacturing, but also processes and usage of biometric cards. The priority is to consider all inputs from national bodies, come to a consensus and progress the standard series according to the ISO business plan. Challenges are divers inputs from industry delegates targeting different solutions. It is important to include all contributions from national bodies while keeping the timeline mandated by the ISO business plan.
