hello Everyone,
I am wondering if it exists standard ways to talk about acceptance criteria for a project in a fixed price context with contractors, process to organise acceptance and rework.
Does it exist standard definitions, standard ways of practising or even formulating the things.
Thanks in advance, I would appreciate any experience.

I think the acceptance criteria should be linked to requirements. As these requirements give you the foundation for calculating cost of the project. So if something that is documented in requirement can easily be used to define what should be the output as per client. Which is your acceptance criteria. Also requirements give you base to create WBS which can then be used for costing.
So ideally start with proper and fixed requirements to get final costing and defining what will be delivered (acceptance) in that fixed cost... Saving Changes...

im trying to define acceptance criteria for insurance software deliverable.
Per phase throughout the project life cycle per deliverable.

In agile I would say your user stories are good enough to define your acceptance criteria. for e.g in your user story you can use template like ... I as project manager (role) want to have admin right (feature) to alter the task assignment (action). So this easily gives you the picture that what deliverable will be defined for acceptance criteria Saving Changes...

i already had dispute with the whole team that we should define the requirements first in order to define the acceptance criteria.but eventually, they force us to define acceptance criteria
for the initiation deliverables. thanks for your input. Saving Changes...
