No.

There's not really a standard.  That's one of the great things about
*nix (as opposed to POSIX).  :-)

If you want a free solution, the de facto environment is SBCL
(https://sbcl.org) and SLIME under Emacs.

For a commercial solution, try Allegro
(https://franz.com/products/allegrocl/).

Both implement CLtL2 and have an ANSI standards compliant mode.
