Balanced construction for the purpose of this directive is defined as being dimensionally equal from the center to the exterior on both sides. As an example if plywood with laminate is used, the center ply can be of any thickness but the plies on each side of it must be the same thickness and of the same specie of wood, with additional plies arranged the same way. When laminate is used on one side of doors and drawers fronts it must be applied on the other side and be of the same thickness and adhered in the same manner.
