I posted a while ago about two new age ratings added to the Netherlands for movies and TV: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/5fbe7ac717505100411144d1 Could a mod please have a look at this?

These Movie/TV Age Rating corrections can only be made or modified by the Administrator, Travis Bell.
It is a change made to the structure of the Database.
And it depends on the congestion of Trello's To-Do list.
Look here:

Hi. It seems that Spain updates its certifications/clasifications, so in TMDB now "Ai" and "7i" are missing. and "Apta" is now "A".
Any options to change it?
Thanks.

Hey, it looks like TV content rating system in Poland is not provided.
Actually, details provided on Wikipedia in the table is correct and up-to-date thus would be good to include it.
BO - no age restriction,
7 - suitable for ages 7 and up,
12 - suitable for ages 12 and up,
16 - suitable for ages 16 and up,
18 - suitable for ages 18 and up.
Thanks

I would love to se Mexico in the rating certification. It has a very similar rating system to that from other Latin America countries.
AA -No Age restriction, everyone can see, easy to understand for childrens below 3 years old
A - No age restriction, everyone can see, parental guidance is recommended
B - Suitable for ages 12 and up, parental guidance is recommended
B-15 - Suitable for ages 15 and up, minors require parental guidance.
C - Adults, ages up for 18.
D - Exclusively adults.

In India, the Central Board of Film Certification is responsible for regulating television programs and movies. Its guidelines for television programs and movies are as below:
U: Unrestricted public exhibition, suitable for all groups. Such films can be aired round the clock. Any nudity/drug innuendo is cut. Such films may contain mild profanity or crude humor, mild sexual content, educational or family-oriented themes, and/or mild violence. Equivalent to G or PG for movies, and TV-Y, TV-Y7, TV-G, and soft TV-PG for TV.
UA: Unrestricted public exhibition but with cation to give parental guidance for under 12. Such films may contain moderate coarse language or suggestive dialogue, references and use of soft drugs, people wearing minimal clothing (frontal or rear nudity is not permitted), moderate sexual content, mature themes, and/or moderate violence (including brief or implied sexual violence). Equivalent to PG-13 for movies, and hard TV-PG and TV-14 for TV.
A: Only adults are allowed to view these programs. They're not to be aired before 11 pm. Such films will include stronger manner content, such as stronger violence, language, sex, and mature themes, and full nudity. Equivalent to R or NC-17 for movies, and TV-MA for TV.
S: Only to a specific amount of audiences. This is very rare.
