Solenoids for Class 1 Div2 Group D

[BFritz]

I have free standing (not in an enclosure) solenoid valves in a Class 1 Div 2 Group D classified area. Am I required do have explosion proof valves? I have heard that it is acceptable to have regular solenoid valves in use in a Div 2 area. I would like to avoid purchasing explosion proof components were possible.

I think they must be listed for the environment.
