At the moment, the highest frequency submitted is 32,182 Hz. This increase is less than 1% of the original value of 32,000 Hz

What was the original tolerance for these chips?

    Ceramic resonators have a typical accuracy of +/-0.5%. An error of +182Hz is a +0.57% error rate.

    Here is a datasheet cited by the Wikipedia article. It says 0.5% initial error, another 0.3% over its full temperature range, and another 0.3% over 10 years of aging.
