I found this information on a UK air gun page (see below): Generally the ideal power level is just over 11 ft lb (15J). For an air rifle that is more powerful than 12 ft lb, (16.25J) you must have a firearm certificate.
I live in California but I think this is the answer.

It looks to me like under 12ft pounds is the limit. I've been told it 495 FPS (feet per second) is the max. Anything over that requires a special license.
