U - Although it is hard to determine what may upset some children the classification U goes by the majority of children. U films should be suitable for all children ages 4 and over and should be set in a positive moral setting. There should also be suitable content, such as no violence, threat or horror.
PG - A PG film should be appropriate for any ages although a PG film should not disturb a child of 8 or over. It is for the parent to decide if this film may upset their child/children.
12 - 12 is given for a film that is suitable for a child of 12 and over. These films may have content that would upset a child under 12 and might have content the parent would find unsuitable for them.
12A - The rating 12A only exists for films in the cinema. An adult may take younger child to see this film if they think it will be suitable. Responsibility for taking a child to see a 12A is completely on the parent.
15 - Only people aged 15 or over can watch 15 films in a cinema or buy rated 15 films and games.
18 - Only people aged 18 or over can watch 18 films in a cinema or buy rated 18 films and games.
R18 - The rating R18 is only licensed to be sold in sex shops and to adults no younger than 18.
The main differences between all the certificates is the age you have to be to view the content in the film.
