Non Haz. Loc. Rated light fixture mounted at about 7 Feet off ground and about 15 feet away from an Unleaded Fuel Dispenser.
Does this fixture need to have a Class 1, Division 2 rating ?

While Don’s answer is good, depending on the NEC Edition you are under, I would caution you to consider the requirements of fixed equipment above classified locations as well. There are some additional requirements that may affect the luminarie.

Older editions were more specific than the current 2023 Edition. I still recommend following them - even under 2023. Basically, it would require a globe and guard even if the luminarie is not actually in the classified location.
