Further information: es:Clasificación por edades (televisión) § Chile

The (National Association of Television [es]) devised a content rating system in 1993.[citation needed]

Child specific

  • I Infantil (English: for children) – programmes suitable for all children;
  • I7 Infantil para mayores de 7 años – programmes recommended for children ages 7 or older;
  • I10 Infantil para mayores de 10 años – programmes recommended for children ages 10 or older;
  • I12 Infantil para mayores de 12 años – programmes recommended for children and teens ages 12 or older.

Standard ratings

  • F Familiar (family) – programmes suitable for a general audience, with content appropriate for all ages;
  • R Responsabilidad compartida (shared responsibility) – programmes may have content not suitable for children under 12 not accompanied by an adult;
  • A Adulto (adult) – programmes suitable for adult audiences only (ages 18 or older), may contain coarse language, and sexual or explicit situations, access to these programmes is locked by a personal password.[citation needed]

Exhibition of programmes classified with the "A" rating is only allowed from 10 p.m. until 7 a.m. (both in local time); however, most channels only broadcast these programmes until they closedown their daily broadcasts (as they still don't begin permanent 24/7 services). All TV channels are required to show a warning (either as a full-screen identification or as a scrolling text message in a lower-third format, if shown during programming) when adult programming on the channel begins. The only exception to that rule applies to cable TV channels.

R 18+ and X 18+ restricted classifications are not permitted for free-to-air broadcast in Australia. Many R 18+ movies on DVD/Blu-ray are often edited on Free TV/cable networks, to secure an MA 15+ classification or lower. Some movies that were classified R 18+ on DVD have since been aired on Australian TV with an MA 15+ classification.

Consumer advice

Consumer advice is compulsory for all MA 15+ and one-off programmes, as well as very short series classified M or higher (such as feature films, miniseries and documentaries).[5] When a programme carries consumer advice, appropriate abbreviations are displayed along with the classification symbol after each commercial break. In general, these abbreviations are as follows:[6]

For violence, coarse language and sex scenes, the intensity and/or frequency is mentioned in front of the consumer advice. These include: "mild", "stylised", "some", "frequent" or "strong". Example: "strong sex scenes".

In Germany, every broadcaster has to show a disclaimer displaying the sentence Die nachfolgende Sendung ist für Zuschauer unter 16/18 Jahren nicht geeignet before transmission if the programme contains potentially offensive content.[25] This roughly translates to The following programme is not suitable for viewers under 16/18. The Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle Fernsehen (FSF) checks many shows in private television.[26]

  • FSK 0 - For all ages.
  • FSK 6 - For ages 6 and up.

India

Sample censor certificate issued by Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) that has to be displayed for 10 seconds before exhibition of a 'theatrical film', and for 15 seconds before exhibition of a 'video film'.[clarification needed] "V/U" infers that the film is sanctioned for video exhibition, and has been given a rating of "Unrestricted Public Exhibition".

In February 2013, in the wake of controversy over suspension of exhibition of the film Vishwaroopam, the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting constituted a panel under the Chairmanship of Justice (Retd.) Mukul Mudgal to examine issues of film certification under the Cinematograph Act 1952. One of the terms of reference for the committee is to examine "the requirement of special categories of certification for the purposes of broadcasting on television channels and radio stations." But, the committee had not made any recommendations on this important matter.

The current classifications of films in India are as follows:

  • अ / U – unrestricted public exhibition;
  • अ/व / U/A – unrestricted public exhibition, but with a caution regarding parental guidance to those under 12 years of age;
  • व / A – public exhibition restricted to adults 18 years of age and older only;
  • S – public exhibition restricted to members of a profession or a class of persons (e.g. doctors etc.)—very rare.
