Biometrics – Cross-jurisdictional and societal aspects of biometrics – General guidance
This standard supports the ethical and responsible use of biometric technologies in New Zealand. It provides practical guidance for designing and operating biometric systems that align with New Zealand’s legal frameworks, cultural values, and public expectations. The standard covers the full life cycle of biometric systems – from planning and deployment to data management and system evaluation – while emphasising accessibility, health and safety, and protection against misuse. It also supports cross-jurisdictional integration, helping systems operate effectively across borders and within diverse regulatory environments.
This standard was considered for adoption by the P4830 Identical Adoption of Digital Standards Committee which included experts from government, industry, academia, and the private sector, all focused on the responsible use of emerging technologies.
This standard is identical to and has been reproduced from ISO/IEC 24714:2023, Biometrics – Cross-jurisdictional and societal aspects of biometrics – General guidance.
