Comprehensive? Do you mean compulsory?
Yes, I know this, as I have helped my colleagues change their tyres.  But generally, "winter" tyres are just more rugged, studded tyres are rare, only used in areas where there is some serious road icing going on.
Even where I live (an hour away from the Austrian Alps), people don't have studded tyres.
