Pre-Check Service
Producers are encouraged to discuss the content of a commercial at concept or script/storyboard stages of production to obtain an indication of the likely classification and to be directed to any content requirements.
This service is free-of-charge and is highly recommended. Any such discussions will be kept strictly confidential.
How to apply for a Pre-Check
The new CAD Online Application System allows you to submit an ad for a pre-production pre-check. This service can also be used for review of offline edits prior to finalising a TVC.
Simply complete your pre-check application and attached your script or storyboard.
If your media schedule indicates that an ad attain a certain classification, please detail this in your application.
CAD Numbers are only issued on completed commercials. CAD cannot issue a CAD Number or provide final classification advice until a commercial is submitted in its final form, with the necessary documentation.
Please allow five (5) working days for CAD to review and provide comments/feedback.
