Hello!
I am going to install structural plywood on the walls in my garage. However, I'm a bit uncertain about the classifications and wonder if anyone knows which board I should buy?
Hornbach sells a 15mm P30 C+/C board for 339 kr
BauHaus sells a 15mm CPC CE2+ board for 349 kr
10 kr isn't that much of a difference, but which one is "best"?

If you need construction plywood, they are meant for load-bearing structures. "Regular" plywood will do if you're placing it behind plasterboard.

I have been thinking about hanging up wall cabinets and would like to avoid putting in studs everywhere, but at the same time make sure the cabinets don't fall on the car... so that's why I was thinking of using the Konstruktionsplywood... Do you have any idea about what distinguishes the different board types above?

No, I have no idea about the differences. Regular plywood will hold perfectly fine.
If you screw with cc 200 mm against the studs and put several screws (at the top) that hold the cabinets, it will work.

And moreover, 12 mm is enough because it is regulated with 600 cc.

I agree with the prototype, 12 mm plywood is sufficient for the current purpose. 15 mm plywood has the same number of veneers as 12 mm, so there is no decisive difference.
There are older and newer systems for labeling plywood, as well as European and American variants. P30 means that the bending strength (which you do not utilize when you mount the sheets vertically) is 30 MPa (megapascal). CPC indicates the quality (primarily the amount of knots) of the surface veneers on the front and back. A, B, C, D where A is the best, is an American classification. P means that knots can be patched. If the plywood will be visible, I recommend looking at how they appear before purchasing. This is more important than their label.
