Finnish Board of Film Classification

From 1946 until the end of year 2011, the VET/SFB was responsible for inspecting and rating the content of movies and video games.

In the beginning of 2012, the VET/SFB was dissolved and its functions were transferred to the Finnish Centre for Media Education and Audiovisual Media (Finnish: Mediakasvatus- ja kuvaohjelmakeskus or MEKU; Swedish: Centralen för mediefostran och bildprogram), likewise operating under the Ministry of Education.

Only material intended to be accessible to minors (those under 18 years of age) was subject to mandatory inspection before being released to the public.

Until 2001, VET also inspected material intended for adult audiences and could prevent releasing it in Finland if the board deemed it exceedingly violent.

Since 2003, Finland has been a participant of the pan-European PEGI-system for rating interactive games.
