The content is suitable for all age groups and will not contain any sounds or pictures that are likely to frighten young children. A mild form of violent is acceptable.

   

Game content with scenes that can possible frighting to younger children should fall into this category 

   

Video games that show violence of a slightly more graphic nature towards fantasy characters or non-realistic violence towards human-like characters would fall in this age category. Sexual innuendo or sexual posturing can be present, while any bad language in this category must be mild.

   

This rating is applied once the depiction of violence (or sexual activity) reaches a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life

The adult classification is applied when the level of violence reaches a stage where it becomes a depiction of gross violence, apparently motiveless killing, or violence towards defenceless characters.

Many console and PC games are still released as a physical product and sold via retailers. To ensure that these games always display the correct age classification on the box, a robust procedure is crucial

1. Prior to release, publishers fill in a content assessment form for every version of their product. This questionnaire enquires about the content of the product, looking at the possible presence of violence, sex, bad language and other audiovisual content that may be considered as not appropriate for all ages.
2. Based on the responses  from the publisher, PEGI's online rating system automatically determines a provisional age rating with content descriptors.
3. The PEGI administrators receive the game from the publisher and thoroughly review the provisional age rating. NICAM takes care of the games rated 3 and 7, whereas the VSC Rating Board reviews the 12, 16 and 18 ratings.
4. Depending on the review, the administrators approve or alter the provisional rating, and PEGI delivers a license to the publisher for the use of the age rating icon and the relevant content descriptor(s).
5. The publisher is now authorised to reproduce the appropriate age rating logo and content descriptor(s) on the packaging or at the digital point of sale in accordance with the PEGI Labelling Guidelines and the PEGI Code of Conduct.
