The uci rules say that if you rim is deeper than 25mm then it needs to pass a uci crash test. The list of wheels that have passed is here:

Pretty much every wheel by the major manufacturers are here... Planet-x wheels noticeably are not. Presumably only because they haven't been tested.
All of that really only applies to uci sanctioned races, not the majority of British races. I'm not sure what the BC rules are.
Here in Scotland, the rules are more simply - your bike just has to be roadworthy. "Where a rider is found to be using a machine which in the opinion of the Chief Commissaire presents a danger to his/herself or others, the rider shall be withdrawn from the event"
