Is there a minimum and maximum height for a wall mounted panelboard (service entrance and sub panels)?

Is there a reference I could go to?

Is the 6'7" height the height of the actual top CB or the top of the box?

Thanks
Steve

They shall be installed so that the center of the grip of the operating handle of the switch or circuit breaker, when in its highest position, is not more than 2.0 m (6 ft 7 in.) above the floor or working platform.
