IARC

The International Age Rating Coalition (IARC) is an initiative aimed at streamlining acquisition of content ratings for video games and mobile apps, from authorities of different countries. Introduced in 2013, the IARC system simplifies the process of obtaining ratings by developers, through the use of questionnaires, which assess the content of the product. This new process reduces the costs of video game developers as they seek to obtain ratings for their products that are distributed digitally online. It acts as a mobile software content rating system on several online storefronts.
