they are rather basic. abec is a well known brand for mediocre but usable berings.
the rating system is a way of categorizing the quality of their barings out of the manufacturing plant and the quality of the grease used in them.
the scale is 3,5,7,9,11
but 3,5,7 are the most common and 5 is the middle of the road for that. i ride abec 9's and I could never get anything lower because I would feel slow

I've never had a good set of abec 3's. They are fast for about a day and they're shot. I would highly recommend blowing the money on some Bones Swiss. They last around 5 times longer than the best abec 3's. Just stay away from water, mud, thick dirt, or anything that may gunk up your bearings.

Some people may not think that Abec 13 bearings are real but they really are, you probably don't know 'cause they have only recently been brought out.

Another fact is that the only Abec waterproof bearings are 7 or 5 I'm not that sure!

There are not many bearing manufacturers in the world that can make Abec 9 as most do not have the equipment and yet you see Abec 9 bearings readily available in skate shops at low prices. A real Abec 9 bearing would cost 30 to 40 US Dollars or more. I leave you to decide!! Have a look at http://www.smbbearings.com/Framesets/Skate_Frame.htm for useful info about skate bearings. #1 bones Swiss #2 bones reds #3 speed demon #4 blind #5 abec 9 #6 abec 7 #7 abec 5 #8 abec 3 #9 abec 1 #10 jc (walmart sold skateboards) *bones ceramics are much faster than bones Swiss but they can shatter*
