Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2E Question?!?

So maybe some of you WFP fanatics can answer this questions I've been mulling over. Its pretty simple but what exactly is an Encumbrance Point when compared to 'real-world' figures. So far I've come up that an EP equal 1 ounce, but that does not quite add up (with this formula an average human can only carry 13 lbs before encumbrance sets in).
So any help would be appreciated. I mean seriously wtf is an Encumbrance Point lol? i mean I just know at some point my players will ask me, and my skill evasions will only work so far next game.

Should be 1 KG.

To make my post a little more useful, however; I am not sure it is meant to be a direct correlation to any weight.  Mostly to avoid people asking questions like, "should that really weigh THAT much?"

It's also a measure of simulated "unwieldiness" if that's a word. So a 10' pole may be light but it's taking up a lot of space and handling.

I realize this now, but its good to have some sort of refrence when designing new items and such for the game. I mean I may end up just telling people weights in EPs, as in thats what the people call weight or some such.
