Since I too have occasional tendencies towards the pedantic end of the spectrum I've checked the accuracy statements of a number of test equipment manufacturers including Fluke, AVO, Tektronix and Hameg. Interestingly they all quote accuracy in terms of the error percentage for example, the Tek 465B manual states that the accuracy of the vertical amplifiers is 'within 3%'. I'm inclined to think, therefore, that the original Marmite VR label is in line with industry practice.
