An "Official" List of ACEs?

Is there an official list of ACEs aside from the original 10? This came up around a discussion about medical trauma, with one person hesitant to give it the formal term "ACE" because they weren't aware of any longitudinal studies about it. However, medical trauma is recognized by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network as a category of events that can cause pediatric traumatic stress. This journal article argues that there is currently no universal definition of childhood adversity and that one is needed.

So if there is no official list or definition of what can be considered an ACE, what parameters or criteria do you use to determine what is or isn't an ACE?
