Default Door handles

Is there a specified (probably EU driven) height above floor/ground
level for the handle of an interior or an exterior door?

TIA

Not to my knowledge Frank. The position is usually governed on timber doors
by the lock-blocks on flush doors [1] or the middle rails of tenoned or
dowelled jointed doors [2] and the actual fitting between those boundaries
is down to personal choice or circumstances.

[1] Usually running at about half-way (either side of the centre line of
the door and around a foot long) on one side of the cheaper doors - or both
sides of the more expensive ones.

[2] Usually you try and fit the lock/latch in the stile just below the
middle rail to avoid cutting into the mortise and tenon or dowelled joints
of the rail (although again, there are exceptions to this when circumstances
dictate).

Hope this helps
