I was told that all new houses require toughned glass on glass panel
doors up to 80 Cm from the floor.

Are there any similar rules for internal glasswork, such as cupboard doors
?

I do hope not. Any more of this regulatory cr*p and I'll ignore all regs
and go back to relying on common sense.

*I* would use a stronger glass or plastic in any situation where a toddler
(yours or a visiting one) could be reasonably expected to head butt or run
straight into it. If you have a "special" room, with fine furniture and a
lockable door and you never intend to let said toddlers in there, then you
are fine, don't bother.

It's worth considering something a bit better than the cheapest of the
cheap for the upper panes to avoid the possibility of slamming door breaks
glass, massive shard fall off and stabs you in the foot.
