An instrument approach may be commenced regardless of the reported RVR/visibility.
if the reported RVR/visibility is less than the applicable minimum, the approach shall not be continued:
-below 1000ft AGL
-into the final segment if the DA/MDA (H) is more than 1000ft AGL.

And perhaps stating the obvious, ATC approval for the procedural approach as well.
From a practical point of view, unless there is reasonable expectation of a successful approach you wait until the RVR is at or above your minima, otherwise you are wasting fuel.
