If by "standard 8 ball" you mean "world standardize 8-ball" rules by the BCA, then the following rules apply.
Under the "World standardized" 8-ball Rules published (Version 21/12/2007) by the BCA, it states the following:
----------------------------------------
Rule 3-3 Break Shot
(e) Pocketing the eight ball on a legal break shot is not a foul. If the eight ball is pocketed, the breaker has the option of
# re-spotting the eight ball and accepting the balls in position, or # re-breaking.
(f) If the breaker pockets the eight ball and scratches (see definition 8.6 Scratch), the opponent has the option of
# re-spotting the eight ball and shooting with cue ball in hand behind the head string; or # re-breaking.
----------------------------------------
So under the BCA rules, its neither a win nor a loss.
