Currently, the UK-based scheme will be voluntary, but already Warner, Universal, Sony, Vevo and YouTube have signed up to the initiative.
It will be run in conjunction with music industry body BPI and music labels will have to apply for age ratings from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) before videos are made available online.

He was found dead the next day.
The two men, aged 19 and 30, were arrested on Tuesday at addresses in Bristol and Peterborough. They remain in police custody.
