I thought it had to be 5 kg [quote="BS7671:2008 559.6.1.5 Fixing of the luminaire"]In places where the fixing means is intended to support a pendant luminaire. the fixing means shall be capable of carrying a mass of not less than 5 kg. If the mass of the luminaire is greater than 5 kg, the installer shall ensure that the fixing means is capable of supporting the mass of the pendant luminaire.[/quote] So 3 kg would not comply.

The weight is also determined by the flex size, there's actually a Table in the regs for that.
It's also a useless fact that a pendant is one of few exceptions for using 2 core cable with no Earth
