Holding FAA vs ICAO

Greetings All,

Am searching for a reference in particularly ICAO document regarding holding procedures.

[Aeronautical Information Manual §5-3-8.d.] When an aircraft is 3 minutes or less from a clearance limit and a clearance beyond the fix has not been received, the pilot is expected to start a speed reduction so that the aircraft will cross the fix, initially, at or below the maximum holding speed.

Does anyone know whether this holds true in the “ICAO world” and if so, kindly provide a reference, or is the 3 minutes speed reduction solely when operating within FAA airspace?

Thank you in advance.
