On Time Performance Rules

Hi all,
Just to see anyone can tell me what is the industrial norm to count the flight delay to calculate the OTP? I notice that some use delay by > 15 minutes (i.e. flight within 14 minutes is on time) and some count >16 minutes (i.e. flight within 15 minutes is on time).
Thanks!

Some companies measure all doors closed/ready to go to see if all internal processes have been successful. Again this is not standardised and can be a D-5 minutes, D-3 minutes etc..
