Note
The plural belongs only to the countable side of the noun. Classification as the act of sorting is uncountable and takes no plural. Once it names a particular scheme, a distribution into groups such as classes, orders and families, it can be counted. Then one agency's classification can sit beside another's, and older classifications can be revised or replaced.
