Altimeter Setting Std Pressure

Can someone in the know give the correct answer to :
In the UK or Europe .When is it correct to set STD pressure on the climb ? ?
Air Law in the Jepps suplement used to say "when cleared to a FL set STD pressure"...... is this still the case as I cant see it in there anymore ??
Also when operating in the USA ( transition Alt 18000 ft),
you are climbing passing 8000 ft and you are now are cleared to FL 230 , do you set STD pressure straight away or wait till transition altitude ??
There used to be a "within 2000ft of transition set STD " but cant see that anymore either !
Many Thanks
