It does but it's a bit ambiguous and doesn't really mention scrambling. It says courses "must not be unnecessarily dangerous" and mentions that hazards such as "rock climbs or steep unstable slopes", or "comparable foreseeable dangers" must not be compulsory route choices. I think that's a good approach actually as it puts the onus on the race organiser to decide whether or not a particular route classes as unnecessarily dangerous or not, and at the end of the day they're going to know the course the best out of anyone so they're most informed to make the decision.
