I believe the procedure became more lax in 1945, though.
I also believe that the allies had something similar.

Of course, robtek. But still, the tolerance for max speed at sea level for Bf 109E was 500kim/h +- 5%. That means that anything between 475 - 525km/h would do and they'd be concerned about that MINIUS more than a plus.
Every aircraft delivered to the customer (air force) would be tested before accepting it, that's for sure.
