What norm specifies this or where I can find it as a norm? You will not fine anything beyond what might be printed in one of the popular Piping Engineering and Design text books
Sometimes its possible to do all the right things and still get bad results

If you have to walk under it, it may be 2m, but not for underground drains.
Depends on lots of other things you have not mentioned.

The top of underground pipe shall be below than frozen depth of Soil(Ground), unless anti-frozen method is applied.
It the pipe is located at the kind of traffic area, the traffic load shall be considered for the depth of pipe.
(This case could be optional.)
