It's required by law in all restaurants in all of North America and Europe. Restaurants that don't abide by that law are disreputable and careless and don't manage to stay in business for long.
ETA: Forgot to mention that applies to hospital kitchens too. And the kitchens in educational institutions.

I never saw anyone doing that or read about these regulations. I did own a restaurant for a while...
Would you please provide a supporting link? I am really curious now.
Nothing you posted was relevant to this statement.
What I found:
All produce should be thoroughly washed before eating. Wash fruits and vegetables under running water just before eating, cutting or cooking.
Washing fruits and vegetables with soap or detergent or using commercial produce washes is not recommended.
