Before third edition, that was never specified in the main book and was the rule assumed in a lot of supplements. In third edition, it was explicitly specified that vampires crumble completely to powdery, dusty ash, with a time still dependent on the age of the vampire but with "8 hours or so" being the absolute upper limit for 15th Generation vampires embraced on the day they died and "seconds to minutes" being what an elder could expect.
And that this rule applied, as well, to severed body bits that were not immediately reattached and healed into place.
