may make a clai if they are over the limits.


I'd say that's entirely up to you to negotiate with them beforehand.


What - negotiate what the British standards are??


No, negotiate what's appropriate for the job, and what you are willing
to pay for.

For some jobs, +-150mm may be quite appropriate.
For others, +-1mm would be appropriate.

Any standard can only logically reflect this.
