Welcome to NBCUAdStandards.com!
The NBC Advertising Standards Department website is intended to help provide agencies and advertisers with all of the necessary tools to obtain clearance for advertisements intended to run on the NBC Network. All submitted advertisements are reviewed for adherence to the laws and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Drug Administration, and NBC’s Network Advertising Guidelines. NBC aims to present viewers with commercials that are truthful, tasteful, non-deceptive, and substantiated. Advertisers must provide substantiation providing a reasonable basis for all claims made within their commercials.

Advertisers and agencies can find NBC’s advertising guidelines, procedures and editor list on this website, as well as securely
submit all clearance materials. The Advertising Standards Department treats all information and materials submitted by an advertiser
or its authorized representative in connection with commercial clearances as strictly confidential.
Submission Process
There are two ways to submit clearance materials to Advertising Standards:
- Upload materials via this website; or
- Submit materials via MediaVu.
After reviewing the submitted materials NBC may approve the advertisement, request additional information, require modifications to the advertisement, or deem the advertisement not acceptable for air. Advertisers should allow up to 3 business days for review of clearance materials. Please see our complete Clearance Procedures & Editor List under the Guidelines Tab.
