ISO/IEC 29197:2015地址 -根据情景和操作测试方法规划和执行生物识别系统环境性能评估的基本要求， -定义、建立和测量要评估的具体条件的规范，包括对设备的要求， -建立基线性能以比较环境参数的影响的要求， -生物测定评估的说明书，包括对测试人群、测试方案、要记录的数据和测试结果的要求，以及 -进行总体评价的程序。 它没有 -确定应针对特定生物识别模态分析哪些参数（这目前涵盖在ISO/IEC/TR 19795-3中）， -规定执行修改环境因素的脆弱性分析的要求（ISO/IEC 19792涵盖了这一点）， -根据针对不同环境条件的性能对生物识别系统进行分类，或 -规定确定环境条件对生物识别系统硬件组件（如腐蚀、电干扰、破损等）的功能影响的要求。

ISO/IEC 29197:2015 addresses
- fundamental requirements for planning and execution of environmental performance evaluations for biometric systems based on scenario and operational test methodologies,
- specifications to define, establish, and measure specific conditions to assess, including requirements for equipment,
- requirements for establishing a baseline performance in order to compare the influence of environmental parameters,
- a specification of the biometric evaluation including requirements for test population, test protocols, data to record, and test results, and
- procedures for carrying out the overall evaluation.
It does not
- determine which parameters should be analysed for a specific biometric modality (This is currently covered in ISO/IEC/TR 19795-3),
- specify requirements to perform a vulnerability analysis modifying environmental factors (This is covered by ISO/IEC 19792),
- classify biometric systems upon performance against different environmental conditions, or
- specify requirements for determining the functional effects of environmental conditions on hardware components (such as corrosion, electrical interference, breakage, etc.) of biometric systems.
