The voltage is the same, so you can try it safely. Apple says so...

However, I've seen reports here that iPod classic does not work with some of Apple's USB power adapters. For example, this is the 12-watt power adapter, which is the one that comes with some iPad models

While other iPods are listed under Compatibility, the iPod classic is not. The smallest 5-watt power adapter (which came with iPad mini)

does show iPod classic models under Compatibility. The other power adapter that came with iPads is 10-watt; there is no current separate listing for it in the Apple Store.
