Does anyone knows if Alodine considered to be a hazardous materials to needs to have a a hazardous classification such as CI, Div 1 or 2? I have a small room that contain some Alodine and the room is exhausted. I did a quick search but couldn't fins anywhere that this materials will require everything in the room to be explosion proof or complying with C1, Div 1 or 2 requirement. Any thoughts?

I didn't make an exhaustive review. I'm not familiar with it.

I checked NFPA 497 Table 4.4.2 and didn't find a reference. I then searched a few MSDSs and typically found in Section 5 [Fire Fighting Measures] that it is essentially non-flammable. Its primary hazard is health-related.

The fundamental issue is PPE, not electrical classification.

Thank you for researching this, I came up with the same result but I just want to make sure if someone else has experience with it and could point me to the right direction or code if needs to be classified.
