This is an interesting question to me as well...and unfortunately, I can not give you the complete answer but it has come up at my workplace too.
The balance between informing someone of qualifications and having a folding business card (think folded travel map) is difficult.
At my work there is no written policy but there is a rule of thumb...PhD is standard to add but nothing less than this (so no Bachelor or Master degree BS/BA and MS/MA respectively)...Generally no other credential is listed...Just name and position...
I have often thought of "buying" additional credentials via the interenet from some of the "sham like" universities and/or title from a European estate...I've always thought a fancy title like "Lord Mitchell of Roast Beef" would be cool to have...unfortunately I did not marry into a title and am unlikely to do something special enough to be knighted (or equivalent) so buying it on the internet is about the only option open to me...
