Tiling Standards

[cr0ft]

As someone who does some tiling but is not a professional tiler, could someone tell me if there is a British Standard which specifies allowable errors in tiling work? i.e. all tiles must be laid with a lippage of less than 0.5% of the longest length or something similar?

I appreciate this isn't a huge question but I need to find out the answer reasonably quickly and would appreciate any help.

Many thanks!

Dock, many thanks for your swift reply. I've tried to look at this online but apparently it is £120?? I was wondering if it is possible to access this information for free anywhere as it is a lot of money to pay out given that tiling is not my main profession.

Many thanks for your help.
