1000ft separation is considered as standard in most places and shall be established if radar separation not be provided and not just for wake. Considered that 1000ft is enough for wake to dissipate,but there were few encounters of wake with A380 when flying 1000ft below it. So I'm aware that some countries require 2000ft vertical with A380 or up to 17nm if in trail.
