Low Visibility Procedures are a set of procedures agreed between an aerodrome operator and ATC to support a desired movement rate in order that operations can continue safely. The procedures are then agreed with the Aerodrome Inspector (in the UK CAA SRG).

Although normally associated with Cat II/III they are not necessarily so. Basically the procedures are there to prevent unauthorised entry to the movement area, and in particular, inadvertent runway incursions.

I don't know about ICAO (it will be in Annex 14)but the UK procedures, in general, are in CAP168 Licensing of Aerodromes which is available here:

It's a 2.8M file, I afraid. It's Appendix 2B you want.
