Dear Group,
     
     I am trying to find some guidance regarding the maximum allowable 
     weight of a product for a single person to self install.  IEC950 and 
     it's offspring (UL1950, EN60950, etc.) all quote that 18kg is the 
     maximum weight for a moveable piece of equipment.  However IT products 
     such as laser printers can weigh more than 18kg.  Is it the 
     manufacturers responsibility to advise the purchaser that a product 
     weighs xx kg and therefore 2 people are required to lift the product 
     out of the box?
     
     Also does this vary from country to country.
     
     Thanks
