Definition regarding to IEC/EN 60384-1 and IEC/EN 60384-8/9/21/22	Definition regarding to EIA RS-198

Class 1 ceramic capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit applications.	Class I (or written class 1) ceramic capacitors offer high stability and low losses for resonant circuit application

Class 2 ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency for smoothing, by-pass, coupling and decoupling applications	Class II (or written class 2) ceramic capacitors offer high volumetric efficiency with change of capacitance lower than −15% to +15% and a temperature range greater than −55 °C to +125 °C, for smoothing, by-pass, coupling and decoupling applications

Class 3 ceramic capacitors are barrier layer capacitors which are not standardized anymore	Class III (or written class 3) ceramic capacitors offer higher volumetric efficiency than EIA class II and typical change of capacitance by −22% to +56% over a lower temperature range of 10 °C to 55 °C.

Class IV (or written class 4) ceramic capacitors are barrier layer capacitors which are not standardized anymore
