ISO/IEC 29109-10:2010 specifies elements of conformance testing methodology, test assertions, and test procedures as applicable to ISO/IEC 19794-10.

ISO/IEC 29109-10:2010 establishes

* test assertions of the structure of the hand geometry silhouette data format as specified in ISO/IEC 19794-10:2007 (Type A Level 1 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009),

* test assertions 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),

* informative guidance for testing the consistency of selected encoded data fields with the input biometric data (Type B Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009).

ISO/IEC 29109-10:2010 does not establish

* test of conformance of CBEFF structures required by ISO/IEC 19794-10:2007,

* test of consistency with input biometric data record (Level 3 as defined in ISO/IEC 29109-1:2009),

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

* test of conformance of systems that do not produce ISO/IEC 19794-10:2007 records.
