15 rating and what applies

15: Those of 15+
Discrimination: The work as a whole must not endorse
discriminatory language or behavior, although
there may be racist, homophobic or other
discriminatory themes and language.

Drugs: 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 (for example, aerosols or solvents) is
unlikely to be acceptable.

Imitable behavior: Dangerous behavior (for example, 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.

Language: There may be strong language. Very strong language
may be permitted, depending on the manner in
which it is used, who is using the language, its
frequency within the work as a whole and any special
contextual justification.

Nudity: There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or
educational context. There may be nudity in a sexual
context but usually without strong detail.
Sex: Sexual activity may be portrayed, but usually without
strong detail. There may be strong verbal references
to sexual behavior, but the strongest references are
unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context.
Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or
stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.
Threat: There may be strong threat and horror. A sustained
focus on sadistic or sexual threat is unlikely to
be acceptable.

Violence: Violence may be strong but should not dwell on the
infliction of pain or injury. The strongest gory images
are unlikely to be acceptable. Strong sadistic violence
is also unlikely to be acceptable.
There may be detailed verbal references to sexual
violence but the depiction of sexual violence must be
discreet and justified by context
