Manual Handling Directive. I have a number 90/269/EEC, but I expect the
Directive has been amended or even superseded by a new edition since
1990. 90/269 does not have any provision for marking packages above a
specific mass, so that may indeed be in a new version of the Directive
or in an associated standard.
