The technical accuracy criterion accuracy criterion?

4.21We expect that the technical accuracy and testing practices of age assurance methods will continue to improve in years to come. Providers should ensure their age assurance processes are reviewed and updated periodically to determine whether newer, more effective technologies and testing practices may provide a higher level of technical accuracy, and, where appropriate, make changes to the age assurance process.
