Aluminum wire terminations

Is there an industry standard or UL listing indicating when you need to use Anti oxidant paste/ Noalox?
The question was brought up that with the new types of Aluminum alloys that you no longer need to use Noalox.

I understand that it is the manufacture listing of whether or not you need to use Noalox.

I am trying to clear things up on what determines when you do or do not need to use Noalox.
I have searched the Aluminum wire manufactures web sites but cannot find any information regarding the use of Noalox

NECA 104-2006 - Recommended Practice for Installing
Aluminum Building Wire and Cable is the closest thing
I know of. Here's one link:

Southwire has a little info, but hard to find. There is
a Q in the Q&A at:

An article from IAEI addresses this to some degree:

There are a couple of good threads on the forum.
