Accreditation
As the one of the leading NVLAP, FIDO, and MOSIP accredited biometric testing laboratories, BixeLab specialises in evaluating biometric, identity and AI systems. We are the world’s first laboratory to be accredited under the NIST administered NVLAP program for testing bias in biometrics – one of only three in the world accredited to test biometric performance, and the only one based in the Southern Hemisphere.
We offer biometric and identity solution compliance testing globally, servicing both government and private sector needs, as well as performing research and delivering insights into all aspects of authentication and identification technologies.
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP)* Accreditation
As the second NVLAP accredited biometrics testing laboratory (NVLAP Lab Code 600301-0) in the world, BixeLab will leverage over twenty years of industry expertise to provide NVLAP accredited biometric testing services to rigorously test your systems to nationally and internationally recognised biometric standards.
- World-class assurance
- Industry-leading certification services
- Australia’s only NVLAP accredited laboratory
* NVLAP is administered by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
FIDO Accreditation
BixeLab is the first independent Biometric Testing Laboratory in Australia to be accredited by FIDO Alliance, and one of the 12 organisations world-wide offering certification of biometric systems against the globally recognised FIDO biometric standards. BixeLab has now achieved accreditation to perform compliant Biometrics Testing under the FIDO Alliance Biometric Component Certification Program.
- Transforming ways of certifying identity authentication
- Australia’s only FIDO Alliance accredited laboratory
MOSIP Advanced Compliance Program (MACP)
Accredited under the MOSIP Advanced Compliance Program (MACP), BixeLab is well-equipped to provide independent certification related to biometric quality for enrolment devices.
Independent biometric certification enables MOSIP users to rely on empanelled, independent laboratories such as BixeLab to validate the capture performance of enrolment devices within the context of expected usage scenarios. At present, the device criteria covers both indoor and outdoor usage scenarios across face, fingerprint, and iris modalities.
Scope of Accreditation from NVLAP [Lab Code 600301-0]
To ensure quality and safety with procedures and outcomes, BixeLab complies with the standards co-developed by both the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). BixeLab’s accreditation from NVLAP can be viewed on the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program Directory.
