Tamir, I don't know of any standard, but that's not to say there isn't one. Hopefully some of the other Technetters have this information. I can tell you that with our through hole design boards, right or wrong, we typically put components as close to the edge as possible, but not so close that the V-score cuts the solder pads. It is not scientific but it works for us.

Thanks, Tamir B.
