Dissolution figures

Hi All

Is there a regulation for expressing the decimals in results from dissolution test?
I often express them like 82,3 % with one decimal, one colleague told me that 82 % is enough.
What do you think of it?

Thanks to all for your help.

What are your limits?

I work in a stability lab and we report all of our dissolution results at the single digits(eg. 82%). This of course follows our limits reporting measure (eg. NLT 75%).

I checked the USP and specifications are reported without decimals (82%).
