Which Internet standard are you referring to? I’d like to check browser support.

PICS is one older standard for this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platform_for_Internet_Content_...

There's also "Voluntary Content Rating", and the "RTA" marker.

PICS and its successor (Powder) both appear to be abandoned. “Voluntary content rating” and “Rta marker” must be pretty obscure since I’m not finding a good web page.

I think these would be better thought of as attempts to create a web standard rather than an actual web standard?

Some of these are already voluntarily supported by many common/popular sites.
