boat category

Hi All
Could someone please direct me to some information on boat categories. The categories I refer to are found on the transom plate of marine boats such as a 4m RIB might have a category C rating. I believe its to do with the safety rating of the vessel. Thanks in advance.

True but they are not designed to cope with Force 8 winds and 4m waves.
