ISO/IEC 27566-1:2025 — Information security, cybersecurity and privacy protection — Age assurance systems — Part 1: Framework

Key Findings

• — Provides a common reference for designing, assessing, and comparing age-assurance solutions rather than mandating a single technical implementation
• — Defines four approaches: age verification (documentation), age estimation (e.g. facial analysis), age inference (behavioral), and successive validation (ongoing session checks)
• — Developed under ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27; being made freely available at the request of the EC/ITU/AVPA

Methodology Notes

Formal ISO/IEC consensus standard, Edition 1, 29 pages. Publication date per the IEC webstore and multiple secondary sources (2025-12-16); the ISO catalogue page blocks automated fetchers, so date/designation were corroborated via the IEC webstore and standards-industry coverage.
