In a situation where where a receptacle is used with a motor/pump (Class 1, Div 2) - if the receptacle is mounted outside the hazardous location and the equipment (portable drain pump in this case) being used on the receptacle is hazardous rated - does the receptacle have to be as well?

Assuming the cord is compliant with Section [2005] 501.140, the receptacle, located outside the classified location, would not be required to be identified for classified locations.
