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

[Histonet] Formalin question

[Anne Murvosh via Histonet]

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.
