Trichlor is nasty, but doesn't need a rating for any "explosion proof" equipment.
(about 30 yrs. ago, I stuck my head into a vapor degreaser cleaning circuit boards to retrieve somebody's wedding ring. Wow!!Dizzzzy)

I didn't know it wasn't flammable but there were several other chemicals in this basement.

I worked construction and maintainence in the power plant industry for 23 years. We uste to use trichlor to clean electrical insulators, buss etc. We were NOT required to follow the NEC, but some of us that were familiar with it would do so anyway. I believe that the use of trichlor was halted because it was a cancer causing solution. We went to using denatured alchol for cleaning.
