==Labels== The FVPC Act gives the OFLC the power to classify publications into three categories: unrestricted, restricted, and "objectionable" or banned. Unrestricted films are assigned a green or yellow rating label. Restricted films are assigned a red classification label. New Zealand has used a colour-coded labelling system since 1987. The colours are intended to convey the messages conveyed by a traffic light: a green label means that nothing in the film, video or DVD should inhibit anyone viewing it; a yellow label means proceed with caution because the film, video or DVD may have content younger viewers should not see; and a red label means stop and ensure that no one outside of the restriction views the film, video, DVD or computer game. The New Zealand classification system currently uses the following labels: {| border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" !Label !!Name !!Definition |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-G.png|100px]]||'''General'''||Suitable for general audiences (awarded by the Film and Video Labelling Body and the Office of Film and Literature Classification) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-PG.png|100px]]||'''Parental Guidance'''||Parental guidance recommended for younger viewers (awarded by the Film and Video Labelling Body and the Office of Film and Literature Classification) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-M.png|100px]]||'''Mature'''||Suitable for (but not restricted to) mature audiences 16 years and over (awarded by the Film and Video Labelling Body and the Office of Film and Literature Classification) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-R13.png|100px]]||'''R13'''||Suitable to persons 13 years of age and over (awarded by the Office of Film and Literature Classification only) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-R15.png|100px]]||'''R15'''||Suitable to persons 15 years of age and over (awarded by the Office of Film and Literature Classification only) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-R16.png|100px]]||'''R16'''||Suitable to persons 16 years of age and over (awarded by the Office of Film and Literature Classification only) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-R18.png|100px]]||'''R18'''||Suitable to persons 18 years of age and over (awarded by the Office of Film and Literature Classification only) |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-RP13.png|100px]]||'''RP13'''|| |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-RP16.png|100px]]||'''RP16'''|| |- |align="center"|[[File:OFLC-R.png|100px]]||'''Restricted'''||Restricted to a particular class of persons, or for particular purposes, or both, specified by the Office of Film and Literature Classification |} Red labels have been available for non-film publications such as magazines and [[video game]]s since 2005.
