Classification Categories are the suggested ages of people that should be watching specific films. These are usually shown in coloured shapes in the bottom corners of disc cases for films or are shown separately on the trailers and advertisements for films themselves.
In the UK, the BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) have set several Categories that include the following:
Films rated "U" are classed as being "Suitable for all ages"
Films rated "PG" are classed as requiring "Parental Guidance" when viewing.
Films that are rated as "12A" are classed as being "Cinema releases that are suitable for 12 years and over".
General media content that is rated as "12" is classed as being "Suitable for 12 years and over"
Films that are rated "15" are classed as being "Suitable only for ages 15 and over"
Films that are rated "18" are classed as being "Suitable only for ages 18 and over"
