http://www.bbfc.co.uk/what-classification/15
British Board of Film
Classification: Rating 15
S For our horror themed video we have established though
our audience research that the age rating of 15 would be
suitable for those who we’ve targeted to watch our film.
What does the 15 symbol mean?
S No-one under 15 is allowed to see a 15 film at the
cinema or buy or rent a 15 rated video. 15 rated works
are not suitable for children under 15 years of age.
What might I see in a 15
rated film or video?
Any of the following:
S Strong violence
S Frequent strong language (e.g. 'f***').
S Portrayals of sexual activity
S Strong verbal references to sex
S Sexual nudity
S Brief scenes of sexual violence or verbal references to sexual violence
S Discriminatory language or behaviour
S Drug taking
How much strong language
is allowed in a 15?
S There could potentially be a great deal. At 15 there is no
upper limit on the number of uses of strong language
(e.g. ‘f***’).
S Occasionally there may be uses of the strongest terms
(e.g. 'c***'), depending on the manner in which they are
used, who is using the language, its frequency and any
special contextual justification. However, continued or
aggressive use will not normally be passed 15.
How much sex and nudity is
allowed at 15?
S At 15 sexual activity can be portrayed, but usually without strong
detail. Some sex scenes can be quite long at this category.
S Though nudity may be allowed in a sexual context there will
usually be no strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a
non-sexual or educational context.
S There can be strong references to sex and sexual behaviour, but
especially strong or crude references are unlikely to be acceptable
unless justified by context.

Sex and sex references are treated
the same irrespective of sexuality
What about dangerous
behaviour or things teens
might copy?
S We consider the risk of potential harm to impressionable
teenagers. For example, dangerous behaviour such as
hanging, suicide and self-harming should not dwell on
detail which could be copied.
Whether the depiction of
easily accessible weapons is acceptable will depend on
factors such as realism, context and setting.
Can you see drugs in a 15
rated film or video?
S At 15 drug taking may be shown but the work as a whole
must not promote or encourage drug misuse (for
example, through instructional detail).
The misuse of
easily accessible and highly dangerous substances like
aerosols or solvents is unlikely to be acceptable at 15.
