Illustration for Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993

You can get a label for a publication that is not a film if it has been checked and classified as restricted. The Classification Office must tell the labelling body to issue a label that shows the classification of the publication. If the Classification Office tells the labelling body to issue a new label, any old labels or directions for that publication are cancelled.
