The string has the format YYYYMMDD, using 4 digits for year, 2 digits for month and 2 digits for day as described in RFC 3339 but without the dashes.
A person's birth date is not sensitive data. There are few possibilities for misuse of this data without combining with several other data, and even then the damage that can be done with a person's birth date it is very limited.
Feide usage notes
The attribute is obtained from the institution's employee registry or student registry. The first 6 digits of norEduPersonNIN and the birth date for a person may be different. This is more likely to occur with short-lived NINs.
Example applications for which this attribute would be useful:
