The BBFC endeavours to classify submitted works in one of the following categories;
U (Universal) - Suitable for all
PG (Parental Guidance) - General Viewing but some scenes unsuitable for young children
12A/12 - Suitable for 12 years and over
15 - Suitable only for 15 years and over
18 - Suitable only for adults
R18 (Restricted) - Only shown in specially licensed cinemas
Each individual work must be considered, with the guidlines being taken into account. However, they are classified based on an interpretation of the guidlines, not in an over-literal way - this is to make sure that all works are given the chance to be seen by the widest audience suitable. By interpreting the guidelines rather than rigidly following them, films and other video works are given the best chance of achieving maximum profit.
