Default Precession of 10 degrees in 10 minutes too much?

I need to find out if there is an official maximum amount of precession
for a Directional Gyro. My aircraft precesses 10 degrees in 10 minutes
during mostly straight and level flight with only a few shallow banks.

One avionics tech told me that it depends on the gyro manufacturer as to
what is acceptable. He also told me that an out of the box unit tested
on the table should not precess more than ONE degree in four minutes.
