Displaying Top Shelf Titles  

 

. . .  To minimise consumer complaints about child exposure to "grown-ups" titles and with the expressed permssion of the publishers of Adult Top Shelf titles, the NFRN publishes and recommends the following code of practice:

  • that adult titles should be displayed on the Top Shelf only and out of the reach of children
  • that adult titles should not be sold to any person under the age of 18 years
  • that adult titles should only be acquired from bona fide trade channels (on the basis that these will have been vetted by the suppliers' lawyers for compliance with legislation)
  • that care and sensitivity be exercised over the display of adult titles with explicit front covers.
