There are standards for just about every type of building material, but I'm not aware of any such thing as a "standard roof". You might want to be more specific, like asking what is typical for a residential roof in a particular climate.

There is no 'standard' roof. There are many types of roofs. Get the ASHRAE Fundamentals book at the library (or maybe you can get it on line). It will have all the different kinds of roofs and the information you are looking for.

What is the question here? Do you need this info for commercial buildings or for residential housing, because the approach to roof design is completely different for each of these types of structures.
