There are different terms for the quality/status of a genome assembly. Like "draft genome", "finished genome" or "high quality genome".
For the case of bacteria I am interested in any standard/"official" definition of quality standards. I basically understand the meaning of the definitions above. But I would like to have a source where I can find an overview of this kind of definitions (what else is commonly used?) and what they are supposed to describe. As already stated, I am mainly dealing with bacteria, so the definitions would ideally apply to bacteria.

Check the Sequence ontology. They have a controlled vocabulary for the qualities of the genomes.
For the term 'whole_genome_sequence_status' you find definitions for the following children:
noncontiguous_finished (SO:0001490)
high_quality_draft (SO:0001487)
standard_draft (SO:0001486)
improved_high_quality_draft (SO:0001488)
finished_genome (SO:0001491)
annotation_directed_improved_draft (SO:0001489)
See this paper from Science: https://www.sciencemag.org/content/326/5950/236.full Authors include people who primarily work with bacteria so the definitions should be applicable widely.
