Article 5Procedures governing the data quality control indicators, standards and mechanisms#

1.eu-LISA shall be responsible for ensuring that the data quality rules are appropriate for achieving the objectives of the EU information systems and interoperability components referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/818.

2.eu-LISA shall also be responsible for implementing the minimum quality standards for storage of biometric data in the EU information systems and interoperability components referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/818.

3.For the purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article, eu-LISA shall take into consideration the specific needs of each EU information system and interoperability component referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/818 and shall be assisted and advised by experts from the Commission, the Member States and the Union agencies using those EU information systems and interoperability components.

4.The following data quality control procedures shall apply:

(a)eu-LISA shall implement the data quality standards for each data quality indicator in accordance with Section 2 of the Annex to this Regulation;

(b)values shall be assigned to the standards separately for each of the data quality indicators referred to in Article 3(6). For each indicator, the standards may assign different values depending on the category of data;

(c)when so required and after the issuance of the regular data quality reports in accordance with Article 6, eu-LISA shall assess the appropriateness of the values and the standards and amend them to the extent to which they are no longer appropriate;

(d)when so required and after the issuance of the regular data quality reports in accordance with Article 6, eu-LISA shall assess the appropriateness of the data quality control mechanisms allowing for the application of blocking and soft rules and amend them where relevant;

(e)with a view of amending the data quality standards and their values, and to taking any decision on the data quality control mechanisms pursuant to points (c) and (d) of this paragraph, eu-LISA shall consult the Advisory Groups for each of the EU information systems and interoperability components referred to in Article 37(1) of Regulation (EU) 2019/818.

5.eu-LISA shall base itself on the assessment of the functioning of the data quality control mechanisms with a view to amending the values of the data quality standards and to taking any decision on the data quality control mechanisms.
