The classification of acid dyes are varies way they are described below:
A)    According to the application:
Class-1 : Strong acid dye
Class-2 : Weak acid dye       
Class-3 : Natural acid dye
Class-1(Strong acid dye):
        i.            Good leveling property.
      ii.            Good light fastness.
    iii.            Wet fastness is also well
    iv.            During dyeing pH maintained 2-3
      v.            Example of strong acid H2SO4.
    vi.            HCl is normally used in dyeing
Class-2(Weak acid dye):
          i.            These are less level dyeing.
        ii.            Well wet fastness.
      iii.            PH  5.2-6.2 is maintained.
      iv.            Cellulose fibres can be dyed.
        v.            Weak organic acid is used such as CH3COOH.
      vi.            Glaubers salt should not be used
Class-3(Neutral acid dye):
          i.            Applied in neutral bath.
        ii.            Good light fastness
      iii.            Not leveling dyeing
      iv.            Wet fastness good.
        v.            lower temperature used
B ) According to the chemical structure:
        i.            Nitro:
Group – NO2
Example : Naphthl Yellow
      ii.            Nitroso:
Group : -NO
Example : Naphthol Green B
    iii.            Mono azo :
Group : -N=N-
Example : Mentanil Yellow
    iv.            Di-azo:
Example :Cloth Red G
      v.            Tri pkenyl methane:
Example : Acid Magenta
    vi.            Xanthene :
Example : Lissamine Rhodamine B
  vii.            Azine :
Example :
Royal Fast Blue EB
viii.            Quinoline :
Example : Quinoline Yellow PN
    ix.            Anthraquinone :
Example : Carbolan Green G
C ) according to the dyestuff particles:
1)      Molecular Split acid dyes.
Example : Acid Orange GG, Alizarine Light Blue etc
2)      Aggregated acid dyes. Example : Polar Yellow R
