Summary
AVS-EU is an IT product that processes identity card and driving license data for the purpose of age verification (most typically, it is used for adult verification). Relevant data are identified by means of an optical card reader and an OCR-Software. AVS-EU identifies the data necessary for determining the age of the owner of the respective card and sends an electronic release signal if the owner’s age is as required (e.g., > 18 years). The product can be attached to automatic vending machines in order to ensure that legal requirements in respect of the minimum age of users are met. Practical use cases are cigarette vending machines or DVD vending/rental machines.
Details
Recert 2020
The ToE has not changed in the meantime.
The recertification is based on EuroPriSe’s criteria catalog v201701 for IT-products and IT-based services. The legal and technical evaluation demonstrated that the ToE complies with all applicable requirements of this criteria catalog.
Please cf. the short public report for details.
Recert 2016
AVS-EU still meets all applicable EuroPriSe requirements (for details, please cf. the current version of the Short Public Report).
Note: The French National ID card may now be used for adult verification by means of AVS-EU in one region of Germany. This is currently excluded from the target of evaluation. However, it will be added to the ToE within the next few months.
Update 201707: AVS-EU does not support age verification by means of the French National ID card (anymore). Thus, the ToE is the same as during the initial certification (see below).
Initial Cert
AVS-EU supports age verification by means of the following types of cards:
- German ID card (old and new model)
