Three unforgivable curses are as follows:
1. Killing Curse
2. Imperius Curse
3. Cruciatus Curse
I just wanted to know if what are the standards of classifying a curse as unforgivable.
Answer
Those aren't just three known Unforgivable Curses; they are by definition the three Unforgivable Curses. If you like, the standards for classifying a curse as unforgivable are "to be one of those three".
From when they're first introduced in the series, in HP and the Goblet of Fire:
"Now ... those three curses – Avada Kedavra, Imperius and Cruciatus – are known as the Unforgivable Curses. The use of any one of them on a fellow human being is enough to earn a life sentence in Azkaban. That’s what you’re up against. That’s what I’ve got to teach you to fight."
And according to Tales of Beedle the Bard:
The Cruciatus, Imperius and Avada Kedavra Curses were first classified as Unforgivable in 1717, with the strictest penalties attached to their use.
