Thread: Fixing requirements for E cat safe

My AO told me it had to be 6mm steel plate under the floor, same as the safes minimum required thickness....

no where in the regs does it say 6mm

but in saying that , .... if the AO is adamant that he or she wants that then you cant really afford to piss them off ....... but that aint the minimum ....if it does say 6mm plate , I must have missed it ,,, or maybe there is a new amendment out ....
would love to know if im wrong ...

when i put my E cat safe in back in about 1997 the Tauranga AO was adamant that 6mm was used on the base plate being 6mm mild steel and of coarse larger then the area of the safe. interesting i see above for concrete fixing chemset or expanding bolts i have never been allowed to use dynabolts they simply stated it will not comply and thats from three different AO. Interesting stuff

the regs I got off the police website , have a number up the top right "POL 67N "
I would have thought that the min would be 6mm as well .... but its written in black and white in their own regs .... My local AO said its ok to use the angle and when quizzed about thickness , just said nice and sturdy ....
