Basic 3 phases of an emergency:

Uncertainty
Alert
Distress

As an example, para 3 of the following document sets some specific limits for moving from one phase to another if a flight plan has been filed:

Whether there are some internationally agreed limits or not I don't know. I expect IAMSAR would be the place to look.
