- BBFC stands for 'The British Board of Film Classification
- The BBFC is an independent, non-governmental body
- It is funded through the fees it charges to those who submit films and video works for classification
- The BBFC classifies films on behalf of the local authorities who license cinemas under the Licensing act 2003
- The BBFC classifies video works which are released as video recordings under the Video Recordings Act 1984
- The BBFC classifies video works which are distributed other than as a video recording (eg. by means of download or internet streaming)
- The BBFC will not classify material which it believes to be in breach of the criminal law
- Their guidelines are not a legal document and should be interpreted in the spirit of what is intended
- The guidelines, and the BBFC's practice in applying them, have particular regard to any changes in public taste, attitudes, and concerns; changes in the law; or new evidence from research or expert sources; and will be reviewed periodically
