tolerances
Permitted variation ranges
Tolerances is the plural of tolerance, most often in technical contexts.
In engineering and manufacturing, tolerances are the acceptable ranges of variation in measurements or specifications: The parts must be machined to tight tolerances.
A component within tolerance meets requirements; outside tolerance, it fails inspection.
The word also appears in medical contexts for varying responses to drugs or allergens.
