Well you can't but I can't find the link anyway.

Sometimes manufacturers will do things against regs and they get special dispensation to do so.

Why the big deal?

If you can run an unvented TempPRV via a tundish into "plastic" I don't see any reason why you can't do the same for a Combi PRV providing it's the correct grade 'plastic' (who's flippn' name escapes me ..........!)

I thought it had to be visible? Could be wrong tho

I agree but I thought that was the purpose of the tundish so that it'll be visible, as well as an air break? Not sure just thinking of a possible way of runing a prv internally?

I was told that it is ok for unvented to discharge that way, but not boilers
