Default Instrument Accuracy

This question is looking for legal (ie FAR) answers versus good
judgement.

Can anyone point me at the accuracy requirements for typical glider
instruments such as airspeed, altimeter, vario, and magnetic compass.
How much error is permitted before the instrument must be replaced or
repaired to keep the glider in an airworthy condition for VFR flight
in the US.
