Tim,
I think this is one of those issues that is going to require engineering judgement and should probably be made by a PE. My first question would be ‘they may be nonflammable , but are they noncombustible?’ See NFPA 30 for the definitions. Next I would look at the specifics of the packaging and try to figure the impact of the PET containers over other types.
