Abstract. We provide a Reifenberg type characterization for m-dimensional C1-submanifolds of Rn. This characterization is also equivalent to Reifenberg-flatness with vanishing constant combined with suitably converging approximating m-planes. Moreover, a sufficient condition can be given by the finiteness of the integral of the quotient of θ(r)-numbers and the scale r, and examples are presented to show that this last condition is not necessary.
