Formalin may be kept in a flammables cabinet for convenience if you wish. (There are items that must not be kept in a flammables cabinet, such as strong oxidants like nitric acid.)

[Histonet] Formalin question
I was wondering if 10% formalin needed to be kept in a flammable cabinet. We never have before, but I wondered if we were doing it wrong or if regulations have changed. Thanks Anne Murvosh HT.
