I fly Fokker 50 for SAS, and we always consider reduced braking action when determining our crosswind limits:

Max crosswind component on slippery runways is: Friction coefficient -10.
Eg: FC .32 = max crosswind component is 22KTS, both for takeoff and landing.

In addition, max X-wind component on wet runways (no FC reported) is 25 KTS (Dry runways 33 KTS.)

I believe the same, or quite similar, restrictions apply for all SAS aircraft.
