In 1999, the Netherlands Institute for the Classification of Audio-visual Media, or NICAM was formed.

The institute was set up in close cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Culture & Science (OCW), the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) and the Ministry of Justice.

On 22 February 2001, the new legislation then passed into law. This replaced the old Film Censorship Act, thereby also heralding the end of film censorship.

In 2002, NICAM played an initiating and coordinating role in the development of Kijkwijzer, the new classification system that warns parents and educators about up to what age a television programme or film can be harmful to children.

Here's their system called the Kijkwijzer:

Age Brackets

	All Ages
	6 and over
	12 and over
	16 and over

Contents

	Discrimination
	Drugs or Alcohol
	Horror
	Language
	Sexual Content
	Violence

This system seems to becoming popular in a variety of areas and countries.. such as games, books, videos etc.
