IIRC the EU standard won't let you certify (OTP?) racks to more than 25 kg, but I'd have no problem giving backies on my Dutch bike - I reckon the rear wheel is going to start breaking spokes before the rack gives way.

This one is rated to 35kg

Ah, I've probably misremembered the limit; it may be 35kg. I know it's significantly less than the weight of the average adult - the makers of my bakfiets explicitly said something like 'we're not allowed to tell you you could carry a 6'5" Dutchman on this rear rack (nod nod, wink wink)'.
