Actually, 10 Nm (torqued dry) is ~75% of proof load for an M6 8.8 grade bolt.
If you lubed the thread and torqued to 10 Nm, you've reached proof load, give or take.

Useful to keep in mind when torquing various bolts with unspecified torque: ~10Nm for M6, ~25Nm for M8, ~50Nm for M10, ~90Nm for M12.
