As thisthick

21、ness is not usually referenced on the AWM Style Page, the referenced thickness is being changed to“minimum” thickness, and appropriate values are being revised. In addition, UL has been testing drawersfor strength and entrapment requirements, so the term “drawer(s)” needs to be added to the appropri
