Oct 27, 2022 at 14:51 comment added Jeremy Rouse Yes. Chapter 9 of O'Meara's book "Introduction to Quadratic Forms" is titled "Integral Theory of Quadratic Forms over Local Fields", and Theorem 92.2 of that book (page 247 in the second printing) gives a classification (in the non-dyadic cases) in terms of the discriminants of the terms in the Jordan splitting. (Basically, a term in the Jordan splitting arises from diagonalising the quadratic form and then grouping together all terms where the $p$-adic valuation of the coefficients are the same.)
Oct 27, 2022 at 8:20 comment added a196884 Thanks, great answer! Do you a know a reference for studying equivalence over the localisation? Do we have invariants that classify equivalence over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$ in the same way we do for equivalence over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ (and genera of forms)?
