Hi there. It really depends on the jurisdiction in which you live, and in what type of building (dwelling unit vs. motor home).
Generally, in a non-motor home such as a townhouse, the dimension is 7'6" or 2300 mm over 75% of the room, with no dimension less than 7' or 2100 mm. However, if it is an existing building, such as a basement appartment, there is some descretion allowed.
In Ontario, for existing buildings, Part 11 would require the height to be 2030 mm over 50% of the room.
Good luck.

There is no minimum height for kitchen ceilings. International Building Code allows for 8' standard and up to 18' on cathedral ceilings. Cathedral ceilings in a kitchen would be a rare if ever occurance.The why is so that lighting will be high enough to allow for headroom.

8' is the standard residential height for any room. It's not necessary to go any higher for any safety reason, etc. but higher ceilings are just nicer to have, esp. if the room is small.

Now days, it could be anything, whatever your heart desires. The usual is a pre-cut 7.5 foot 2X4 with plates it brings it to 8 foot.

10 feet so that things on the stove don't steam up the ceiling or burn your ceiling
