German term or phrase: Fehlergenauigkeit
"Das Verfahren unterstützt damit die Fehlergenauigkeit der Kompression im xxx Standard" - all in connection with a patent infringement. I have unsuccessful browsed and do not fancy my first idea of "error accuracy". Your sugggestions are welcome.

fidelity of compression
Explanation:
For example we find that the same fidelity of compression (at most 1% error) can be obtained for time-series data at fine time granularity (aggregated over five minute intervals) by using a similar number of coefficients as those used for data at coarser time granularities (hourly aggregates).

error tolerance


Explanation:
I can't say that I fully understand the context here, but I tentatively suggest "error tolerance" as a possibility - being the size of an error that can be tolerated or accepted.

neutral  Kim Metzger: I don't understand how you can propose these terms with such confidence, given the lack of adequate context and information.

  -> I do so based on my knowledge and experience with the subject of video production. I am pretty sure I know what the greater context of this sentence is.
neutral  Johannes Gleim: accuracy is uncommon. Margin of error is better. Cf. also my researches.

error margin


Explanation:
The context is about errors, which should be taken into account.

Example sentence(s):
  • Was einen guten Atlas auszeichnet ist auch die Fehlergenauigkeit, also der Anteil an falschen Informationen.
  • The results of this study are accurate within a 4% error margin at a 95% confidence level.

margin of error


Explanation:
Ich finden den Ausdruck "Fehlergenauigkeit" widersprüchlich, auch wenn er in der Mathematik verwendet wird:

Stoppe, falls s0 < s2 mit einer vorgegebenen Fehlergenauigkeit s erreicht ist.
http://www.numerik.math.tu-graz.ac.at/kurse/lgs/SIMNET6.pdf

Aber was ist das genau?

Momentan wird bei der Rechnungslegung und Rechnungsprüfung innerhalb der EU eine zweiprozentige Fehlermarge „zugelassen“. Diese betrifft sämtliche Ausgaben der Union, darin eingeschlossen die Verwaltungsausgaben. Klar ist, dass es möglich sein sollte, insbesondere Gehälter, Mieten sowie die sonstigen Verwaltungsausgaben mit einer deutlich höheren Genauigkeit festzustellen. Bei diesen sollten keinerlei Fehler zugelassen werden.

Bei den anderen Ausgaben der EU kann sich allerdings die Einhaltung der zweiprozentigen Fehlergenauigkeit in der Praxis als schwierig herausstellen.
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//...

Also kann man das mit Fehlermarge gleichsetzen.

1. die vom Fahrzeug zurückgelegte Wegstrecke mit einer Fehlergenauigkeit von 1 km;
2. die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs:
1. distance travelled by the vehicle with an accuracy of 1 km;
2. speed of the vehicle;
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?mode=dbl&lang=de&lng1=de,...
(nur diese eine Fundstelle)

... z. B. bei den Prognosen, die neue Marktteilnehmer abgeben müssten – eine bestimmte Fehlermarge verbunden, die nicht als Rechtfertigung für eine Missachtung der Bestimmungen der Richtlinie 2003/87 dienen könnten.
... a certain margin of error – for example in the case of the forecasts which new entrants must make – and they are not capable of justifying a failure to comply with the provisions of Directive 2003/87.
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/Notice.do?mode=dbl&lang=de&lng1=de,...

Es hat sich als unpraktisch erwiesen, für die Nullpunktperiode des Modells Wellenspektren entsprechend den nominalen Werten der mathematischen Formeln einzusetzen. Daher wurde eine Fehlermarge von 5 % zugelassen.
It has been found that it is not practical to set limits for zero crossing periods of the model wave spectra according to the nominal values of the mathematical formulae. Therefore an error margin of 5 % is allowed.

  -> I suppose that the process or device (undisclosed by the asker) supports a delimited or narrow margin of errors specific for the selected compression mode according to standard XXX.
