Vertical Rate Reduction

Hallo!

How is the ROC/ROD (rate of climb, rate of descent) of jet aircraft handled by different operators when approaching a cleared altitude or FL? Do they stay in "open" flight-guidance modes or do they change the modes to "vertical speed" or "path" to reduce the probability of a level bust or a TCAS resolution advisory when other traffic is close by' What are the ROC/ROD-limitations by different civil aviation authorities?
