That's based on normal tightening torque for medium strength M8 screws. Shimano SI for the FC-2200, for example, suggests 35-50Nm, which would only be possible with very high strength (12.9 grade) screws. Obviously if you have the manufacturer's service instructions to hand, use those rather than generic numbers.
