You can build a preflight in Acrobat containing /testing conditions RGB and Contains ICC.
I normally just go on PDF preview, note that untagged RGB is almost the same as DeviceRGB.

In CS4 it is a bit back to front. You can test for RGB objects. You can test for ICC profiles, but you can Flagg for ICC but not for missing ICC in RGB. I don't know who consulted for the preflight, but there it is very strange in that there is not a black list or white list option on the condition, just the test.
I would have thought that it would have been smarter to have a preflight that is compatible with Acrobat Preflight, so that you could create a preflight action and choose wich software to run it in.

I would have thought that It should flagg for ICC profiles in CMYK but warn for missing profiles in RGB? Is there anyone ever (when creating for print) who wants a missing profile in RGB?
