Is that an 1/8" at the top and bottom when rocked? If so it`s not a lot, depends on the discretion of the tester usually.

its down to the testet to decide what is 'excess play'
remember before excess play comes---
no play
slight play
play
lots of play THEN
excess play!
excess is when it would be deamed dangerous to drive or there is an obvious fault(collapsed bearing) which would usually fail for roughness as well.
from memory though a bearing cannot fail for being noisy!
this is what advisory note are for.
