AllClear and iClear LHF FAQs

iClear LHF and allClear LHF, assist food and drink advertisers in assessing online advertising compliance with the CAP Code outside traditional broadcast clearance, offering different levels of review and cost. These services provide risk assessment and expert clearance options for non-broadcast ads, with iClear offering quick AI-powered pre-screening and allClear delivering expert review and Clearcast protection.


What content can I assess, and are iClear LHF and allClear LHF only available for non-broadcast advertising?

Users can assess advertising scripts, static images and video content through the platform. Both services are designed to support advertisers assessing LHF advertising (outside of the traditional broadcast clearance process) against the CAP code.

Can I move from iClear LHF to allClear LHF?

Yes. If you'd like additional reassurance and protection, you can escalate an iClear LHF assessment to allClear LHF for expert review.

How much will this cost?

It costs £80.00 + VAT for a iClear assessment, and it costs £350.00 + VAT for an allClear assessment. If both services are used for the same asset, the cost of the first iClear assessment is deducted from the allClear cost, meaning allClear would cost £270+VAT.
