Certificate Research- 12

This category applies to cinema releases from August 1989 to 2002, and home media since 1994. It is suitable only for persons aged 12 years and over, not to be supplied to anyone below that age. It is illegal to knowingly rent or sell a 12-rated VHS, DVD, Blu-ray Disc, UMD or game to anyone under the age of 12.

12A-rated films are usually given a 12 certificate for the VHS/DVD version unless extra material has been added that requires a higher rating. The content guidelines are identical to those used for the 12A certificate. Examples of films with this Certificate are The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower.
