is there an ios app development age rating official definition page?


Is there an official apple page explaining the age rating system for ios app development?

For example, specifically what qualifies as 4+, 9+, 17+ etc...

I saw online an image of a page where you can select radio buttons but I am not finding it on the developer website or an official definition of what is 4+ 9+ etc.
