A pass-move and a #-move are local moves on oriented links defined
by L.H. Kauffman and H. Murakami respectively.
Two links are self pass-equivalent (resp. self #-equivalent) if
one can be deformed into the other by pass-moves (resp. #-moves),
where non of them can occur between distinct components of the link.
These relations are equivalence relations on ordered oriented links and
stronger than link-homotopy defined by J. Milnor.
We give two complete classifications of links with
arbitrarily many components
up to self pass-equivalence and up to self #-equivalence respectively.
So our classifications give subdivisions of link-homotopy classes.
