ISO/IEC 29109-6:2011 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005.

ISO/IEC 29109-6:2011 establishes

* test assertions of the structure of the iris image data format as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009),

* test asssertions of internal consistency by checking the types of values that may be contained within each field (Type A Level 2 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009),

* tests of semantic assertions (Type A Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009).

ISO/IEC 29109-6:2010 does not establish

* tests of conformance of CBEFF structures required by ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005,

* tests of other characteristics of biometric products or other types of testing of biometric products (e.g. acceptance, performance, robustness, security),

* tests of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 19794-6:2005 records.
