German term (edited):

tolerance limits is what I frequently use for "Toleranzen". It may help solve the problem with "tolerance(s)" ;o))

German term (edited):
unterliegt ueblichen Toleranzen
is subject to the usual tolerances
Despite certain strident and ill-informed remarks, "tolerance" singular is unidiomatic and therefore just plain wrong in this context.

Sorry, if it's under a table, you should omit the "is".

However,my OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNER'S DICTIONARY OF CURRENT ENGLISH says tolerance is "�",i.e., uncountable. :-)
