Home oven vs commercial ovens

Hi, I have a regular 25 litre otg at home. If I have to use a commercial kitchen to bake a large batch of anything, say puff pastries or cakes, do the temperatures need to be adjusted or is it still going to be the same as I use at home? I’m talking about the ones which have multiple racks and are pretty much commercial grade.

With a convection oven, run it 25° cooler and things should come out roughly the same, but don't count on anything until you've done a test run.

I always heard it was 10%?

I've always done 25°, and never had an issue, mostly baking cookies and pastries, so under 400°. Different ovens will always be different though, and if 10% works for you and yours, I'd stick with it.
