If the new refrigerator will be in the XP storage room then to maintain the rating you'd need the new unit to be XP. The fire & building codes would have jurisdiction on the electrical rating of the refrigerator not OSHA. The local fire department (try the fire marshal unless you know someone else in code enforcement) would be able to provide you with guidance.

I neglected to mention that we have an explosion-proof chemical storage room with a blow-out ceiling adjacent to the chemistry lab. So the question of whether or not we need an explosion proof refrigerator needs to be answered within that context.
