E170/175 Vref Ice speeds

When ice is detected on the E170/175 for more than 10 seconds (approx.) the anti ice systems are switched on and amongst other annunciations, an EICAS message "STALL PROT ICE SPEEDS" in cyan is displayed. This requires the crew to use increased Vref speeds regardless as to the landing weather ie. may encounter ice on departure, fly for 3 hrs and land in +30C temps, and still are required to use ice speeds.

Are there similar requirements on other modern jet types?
