Most of the rules are restrictive/negative. Some rules explicitly requires a certain part or configuration (e.g. that you use the PDB, and power the Rio from this port, or that the motors be from the list). More common are rules that disallow certain items (the 24V rule, the hazardous materials rule, and the budgetary rules). Unless there is one of these rules that disallows your circuit one way or the other, you can use it. Unless it costs more than $400, has mercury, or needs 24+V, I can't think of many rules likely to exclude a proximity sensor.
