Long story short, surely I can just buy a stout safe whose body and door is at least 6mm and is securely fastened?

Sure, as long as you are confident a member of the Police with approve it in writing for your particular case.
Certified would just mean that that model has been approved, in general.

Sounds like you'd need to either just go for a model that has been approved in general or first talk to you arms officer to ensure they are willing to approve a model in writing for you. They may require engineering specification so can you get this for it?
