Per [R08] and the blue box, the MSDS is what determines if a material is hazardous. Per the MSDS, Acrylic is non-hazardous.

[R08] also allows for something to be disallowed if it is "unsafe". However, I find it hard to believe that you would say that every use of acrylic is unsafe, sight unseen. I do agree that many (or even most) uses in an FRC robot could be unsafe, but I would be hesitant to make the blanket statement. It's been a very long time since the manual explicitly banned acrylic.
