Not sure this is what you are looking for; but the 110-230V unit is rated
as a range, so the tolerance would be below 110 and above 230.  The 110/230
V has two distinct rating ranges, so the tolerances would be above and
below 110 AND above and below 230VAC.  That's the first thing that pops
into mind, anyway.

PS: Who operates at 110VAC 50Hz?
