- The Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) was an organisation established in 1989 by videogame software publishers in the United Kingdom. Until 2002 it was known as the European Leisure Software Publishers Association since it was one of the first and strongest such trade bodies across Europe. ELSPA was formed to establish a specific and collective identity for the country’s videogames industry and its membership includes virtually all of the major publishers of games in the UK. ELSPA's membership currently runs to around 40 companies including some developer/publishers. ELSPA works to protect, promote and provide for its members’ interests via a number of activities including sales charts and reports (via GfK Chart-Track), detailed market research, Intellectual Property legalities and protection, collective industry-wide PR and political lobbying. Key areas in which the Association lobbies include economic support for the industry as well as vital workforce skills develoment. It also promotes the use of videogames and gaming hardware in both education and health (particularly physiotherapy). ELSPA helps to organise a number of key gaming events in the UK each year including the annual London Games Festival (staged each October) and Edinburgh Interactive (in August). ELSPA ensures that all its members publish games that are responsibly age-rated with the pan-European PEGI ratings system to ensure parents, guardians and carers can make informed choices when purchasing games for children. (see below) ELSPA is represented on UKCCIS (the UK Council for Child Internet Safety) and works with the Advertising Standards Authority, helping to draw up the Codes of Conduct that maintain the responsible advertising of videogames. ELSPA's Corporate Social Responsibility programme includes supporting and working with a number of major children's charities in the UK including the Children's Society and the NSPCC. The PEGI age-rating system is set to be adopted in the UK as the country's definitive system for videogames. Set up in 2003, PEGI sets standards for the age rating of interactive games both online and offline. It gives clear advice on content to provide certainty for parents - and PEGI is the only pan-European standard for online gameplay as it is accepted in more than 28 countries. In June 2009 the British Government, via its Digital Britain report, recommended the widespread acceptance of PEGI for the UK. The decision will give PEGI legal force in the UK for all games that are rated 12 and above. This was a key recommendation of the Byron Review in 2007, in which child psychologist Prof Tanya Byron examined child safety in the digital age. In her report Byron recognised that games are increasingly being played online and across international boundaries, so a system that worked both within and beyond the UK was essential. All videogames in the UK are now set to include the PEGI age rating roundels which follow the easily understandable 'traffic light' system introduced recently for food products. The red, amber and green coding is instantly recognised by children and adults alike. The game descriptor icons give detail on content beyond age suitability and, in the UK, games will also have supplementary written descriptors. In June 2009 Prof Byron said: "Video games were the big issue in my review, specifically their classification system. I didn't have time to outline a new classification system entirely, but I did outline principles for how it should look. My suggestions then went to consultation and the Government have this week made their decision, which is an enhanced PEGI system. My recommendations have been upheld and it's a really great decision which I thoroughly support."
- Die Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) ist eine 1989 gegründete Organisation britischer Computerspiele-Hersteller mit Sitz in London. Bis 2002 war sie unter dem Namen European Leisure Software Publishers Association bekannt. Sie ist die Interessenvertretung der englischen Spielehersteller und entspricht in ihrer Funktion dem deutschen Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland bzw. dessen Nachfolger. Die ELSPA hat von 1994 bis 2003 die Alterseinstufung der in England veröffentlichten Computerspiele vorgenommen, die nicht von der British Board of Film Classification eingestuft worden waren. Mit der Einführung des PEGI im Jahre 2003 wurde die Alterseinstufung obsolet. Des Weiteren veröffentlicht die ELSPA Verkaufscharts und führt als Interessenvertretung der Spielehersteller Anti-Raubkopier-Kampagnen.
- La Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) és una organització creada al 1989 per una publicadora de programari britànica. Es coneixia com a la European Leisure Software Publishers Association fins al 2002. Es dedica a classificar videojocs. L'ELSPA va ser responsable del control de videojocs venuts en el Regne Unit i la promoció de la lluita contra la pirateria. Va realitzar gran quantitat d'estudis, anàlisis i lliuraments de premis. També va codirigir el London Games Festival i el Edinburgh Interactive Festival. Entre 1994 i la primavera de 2003 va classificar els videojocs publicats en Gran Bretanya que estaven exemptes de la qualificació jurídica de la BBFC. Les classificacions van ser originalment d'entre 3 i 10 anys, entre 11 i 14 anys, entre 15 i 17 anys i més de 18 anys, que van ser més tard simplificades a més 3, de 11, de 15 i de 18 anys. A cadascuna d'aquestes classificacions se li assignava un tick verd si el videojoc era adequat per a aquest grup d'edat o una ics vermella si no ho era.
- Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA) on Britanniassa vuonna 1989 perustettu, ikäluokituksia videopeleihin määrittelevä organisaatio. ELSPA tunnettiin vuoteen 2002 saakka nimellä European Leisure Software Publishers Association. Vuosien 1994-2003 välisenä aikana ELSPA antoi ikäsuosituksia Britanniassa julkaistuihin video- ja tietokonepelehin, joita British Board of Film Classification ei luokitellut. Suositukset annettiin jokaiselle ikäryhmälle (3-10, 11-14, 15-17 ja 18+) erikseen, myöhemmin järjestelmä yksinkertaistettiin merkintöihin 3+, 11+, 15+ ja 18+. Nykyään ELSPA käyttää PEGIn luokittelujärjestelmää. ELSPA tuottaa videopelien Britannian myyntitilastoja ja ottaa osaa piratismin vastaiseen toimintaan.

Les évaluations étaient les suivantes : 3+, 11+, 15+ et 18+. L’évaluation a ensuite été remplacée par le système européen d’évaluation appelé PEGI.

- Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association è un organizzazione costituitasi nel 1989 da alcuni produttori di software inglesi. Era conosciuta anche col nome di European Leisure Software Publishers Association fino al 2002. Dal 1994 fino alla primavera del 2003, l'ELSPA si occupò soprattutto di indicare l'età più adatta ai videogiochi per computer prodotti in Regno Unito, esempi di classificazione legale della BBFC. In origine, i voti dati erano 3-10, 11-14, 15-17 e 18+. Una X rossa indicava che quell'età non era adatta al gioco, mentre un segno di spunta verde indicava il contrario. Per esempio, un prodotto adatto a tutte le età era indicata con tutte le categorie segnate. I voti vennero più tardi semplificati a 3+, 11+, 15+, 18+. La serie Mortal Kombat, per esempio, fu una delle saghe di videogiochi ad aver totalizzato più voti per adulti (18+). L'organizzazione venne più tardi rimpiazzata con l'introduzione di un nuovo sistema di rating, il PEGI. Oggi, l'ELSPA è responsabile della pubblicazione delle classifiche di vendita dei videogiochi in Regno Unito e dell'organizzazione di diverse iniziative contro la pirateria dei videogiochi. Essa coopera anche all'organizzazione del London Games Festival e dell'Edimburgh Interactive Festival. Mentre l'ELSPA rappresenta i produttori dei videogiochi, gli sviluppatori sono rappresentati dal The Independent Games Developers Association.

"X"s simbolizavam a quais faixas etárias não eram apropriados os jogos, enquando um "V" nas categorias citadas indicavam as idades apropriadas. Por exemplo, um jogo recomendável para todas as idades teria todas as categorias "vistadas". Um título apropriado apenas para adultos teria "X"s em todas as categorias exceto a "18+". Um título apropriado para idades acima de 11 anos teria um "X" para "3-10" e "V"s para as outras. As classificações foram mais tarde simplificadas para 3+, 11+, 15+ ou 18+. Esse sistema de classificação foi substituído por um sistema europeu chamado PEGI.
