Proposal: ISO/IEC NP 27566-2 (Ed 2) – Age assurance systems — Part 2: Technical approaches and guidance for implementation

Comment period end date:04/09/2024
Scope
This document describes different technical approaches suitable in different ecosystems for age assurance systems and guidance for their implementation.
Purpose
Governments throughout the world have implemented policies for the protection of children from harm
through access to age restricted goods, content or services. The growth of online services has enabled greater access to age restricted items and materials, but the development of protective mechanisms for age-related eligibility decisions still lags behind. There is a lack of internationally recognised standards for age assurance functionality and the ability to benchmark age assurance solutions. This proposed series of Age Assurance Systems standards aims to solve the problem of inadequately defined age assurance processes and associated lack of trust in the outputs of those processes by policy makers, regulators, relying parties and individuals.
The following gaps have been identified, and will be addressed by this series of standards:
— There are no internationally recognised benchmarks for benchmarking analysis against which age
assurance solutions can be assessed and scored.
— There is no internationally recognised methodology by which a policy maker or regulator can specify
requirements and desired characteristics, e.g., “we require you to only supply service ‘x’ to an individual if your solution is able to meet the following characteristics in accordance with ‘z’ standard”.
— It is challenging for suppliers of products, content or services to specify the properties of a desired
age assurance solution; it is likewise challenging for an age assurance system provider to market the
characteristics of their solutions to such suppliers.
— Suppliers of products and providers of content and services must rely on bespoke and proprietary
age assurance systems developed for specific use cases..
— Interaction with multiple age assurance systems results in both risk and inconvenience to individuals who may need to submit their personal data more than once and in more than one place.

Proposal: ISO/NP TS 18101-2 – Automation systems and integration — Oil and gas interoperability — Part 2: Part 2 Vocabulary
Please visit: ISO/NP TS 18101-2
Comment period end date:04/09/2024
Scope
This document establishes a vocabulary of terms, with their definitions, as used in the ISO 18101 series of standards that apply to the domain of asset intensive industry interoperability.
Purpose
The purpose is to ensure that parties reading the technical reports shall be clear about the terms used in these reports and the subsequent technical standards. The proposed project will enable the terms to be kept continuously up to date in a single part of the standard.
