The BBFC, British Board of Film Classification, is an independant, non-governmental organisation, which is self funded. Their funding comes from the fees they charge to distribution companies to classify films.
- They classify films on behalf of the local authorities who license cinema's under the 'Licensing Act 2003'.
- They classify videos/dvds/blu-rays under the 'Video Recordings Act 1984'.
- They classify online content under a scheme called BBFC.Online.
- They will not classify material which they believe to be in breach of the law.
- The BBFC reconsider and update their classification guidelines every few years as a result of a lot of research and public consultation.
