The "Guidelines – Age Classification of Audiovisual Programmes" by Medietilsynet (Norwegian Media Authority) outline the process for classifying audiovisual programmes to protect minors from harmful content. Mandated by the Audiovisual Programme Act, all programmes made available to the general public, with specific exemptions, require an age limit. The assessment considers a programme's assumed impact on various age groups, evaluating its expression (e.g., mood, characters) and content (e.g., violence, sexuality, difficult themes). Programmes are then assigned one of six age limits: All ages, 6, 9, 12, 15, or 18, with specific criteria for each.
