Abbreviation for the Video Standards Council. VSC was established in
1989 as a
non-profit organisation set up to develop and oversee a
Code of Practice and
Code of Practice Rules designed to promote high standards within the
video industry. The Code and Rules have subsequently been expanded to promote high standards within the
computer and
video games industry. Together with
ELSPA they regulate
United Kingdom's computer game industry's voluntary age rating code of practice.
The VSC is managed by a committee made up of representatives from all segments of the
video and
games industries, a Secretary-
General and an Operations
Manager.
The President of the VSC is currently Lord Merlyn-Rees.
