I don't believe there are any special rules about this for classified areas. But what would the point be?

Any grounding/bonding requirements, unique to Class I locations, are found in Section 501.30. Otherwise grounding simply complies with Article 250.

The term “grounding electroconductor” is unrecognized in Article 250 raising the question of purpose.
