My box is secured by chain around the leg of my steel workbench and the padlock through the box's hasp and chain.
FEO was more than happy with this arrangment.

I screwed a small eye bolt into the skirting board, run the chain through the eye and through the padlock on he box.
It seems that the objective is to stop a visitor, (workmen etc), from picking up the box and taking it away.
Different areas have different rules. Some say put it in the loft. Some tell you to chain it up, and some tell you not to chain it up so if there is a fire you can pick up the box and chuck it out of the window. (To stop the firemen being blown up).
seems massive varience in the opinions. My box is kept in a spare room, available to be removed if there is a fire or anything . Theres no requiement for it to be chained or secured in any way!!
I'd ask you FLO why he wants it chaining as i don't think its required as part of the explosives guidance
mine just told me want it chained around box then to external wall
didnt mention how big a chain
what ya think

Mine is chained around a Dexion leg (Steel shelving). FEO was happy. It's not particularly substantial, and as it is in the garage there are plenty of tools around which could be used to release it quite quickly I suspect. I believe there is no documented standard, and it's just to stop a casual thief walking off with it without breaking something (elevates the crime to a higher level if the goblin damages something).
True freedom includes the freedom to make mistakes or do foolish things and bear the consequences.

Threaded eye bolt fastened into the gun cabinet, saves faffing about drilling the wall
Careful with that axe Eugene
