Proof of Age Standards Scheme

We test that the algorithms deployed to make automated judgements about the age of customers actually work within acceptable tolerances

We test that providers of ID on your device, such as a smart phone, have taken the appropriate security and authenticity steps to make that a reliable method of age verification

We test that processes of using the network of social contacts of a citizen to verify their age, such as through social media, work

We test systems under different lighting, including lighting that you would typically find in a casino, pub or retail setting to test that age check systems work in different environments

We test that age verification systems are operable through multiple types of devices, such as phones, tablets or integrated hardware in checkout systems or machines

We use a series of fake instruments to test whether or not Age Check systems can properly detect that they are false, sometimes known as ‘anti-spoofing’

We test biometric analysis of behaviours that change with age, such as your finger span, facial expressions or aspects of your behaviours online, such as use of financial services

We check and test that your system has been built and deployed in accordance with your age check policies and quality control processes
