The video recordings act requires that video, music and documentarys, non fiction, video games, etc under the act had to be classifies, this makes it illegal to supply any recording that had not been certified. This can restrict release to any age of 18 or under, or to only licensed sex-shops. The government currently designate the BBFC as the authority for certifying video releases, this is because the law requires the certificate to be shown on the packaging or media labels of the video recording, one of the rules is that only UK releases can be legally sold or hired in the UK.
