Yes there is a standard but there are also may non-standard implementations.

I was a little worried about the comment regarding "isolation" being
hard to implement.   The standard for Ethernet required galvanic
isolation on all Ethernet ports by use of a transformer.  So POE
simply buts a DC bias on the wire.  I think it can provide 12 Watts of
power
