ICRA Home Page Ratings Details
The Internet Content Rating Association seems to be a semi-standard. It provides the most detailed information about your page and has been adopted by Internet Exploder. It also makes an attempt to encode whether adult content is portrayed in an educational or artistic manner. It is, as you might guess, also the most complex to configure. In addition, they provide some information on their web site about their protocol. In the past they have refused to answer questions about it saying that you should use their web form and not do-it-yourself. However, they seem to have done a complete about face and now have a lot of great documentation on their site.
Basically, their ratings are a list of codes, each two letters followed by a space and the number 1. The starting letter inticates the type and is (c)hat, (l)anguage, (n)udity, (v)iolience, and (o)ther-topics. The second letter, for each type, describes the specific classification. For instance la means that the page uses "Explicit sexual language" while va implies "Sexual violence / rape". After each two letter code comes a space and the number 1. I could find no documentation about the 1.
So if you page uses crude words (lb), exposes female breasts (nd) and bare buttocks (ne), talks about deliberate damage to objects (vk) in a sports context (vu), and metions gambling (od), your ICRA rating code would be:
lb 1 nd 1 ne 1 vk 1 vu 1 od 1
The full ICRA PICS meta tag would then be:
<meta http-equiv="pics-label" content='(PICS-1.1
"http://www.icra.org/ratingsv02.html" labels
ratings (lb 1 nd 1 ne 1 vk 1 vu 1 od 1))' />
Notice that you don't set a level of nudity or other types but rather you list each of the items which are represented on your page. Also, if you show "Explicit sexual acts" (nf) but in an "Artistic" context (nr) you would list both entries: (nf 1 nr 1)
The below tables detail the various ratings. There is a column for the RSAC codes as well.
