Is there a recommended smallest button size under normal conditions?

By "recommended" I mean prescribed by some document like:

Apple HCI Guidelines
Windows UX Guidelines
or some ISO standard..

By "normal" conditions I mean:

desktop/office use
standard 96dpi monitor resolution
mouse/touchpad for pointing (no touchscreen)
non-disabled or visually impaired users
standard "theme" (no large fonts/icons)
