Pulled greasy wool and coarse animal hair

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers two separately declared raw-fibre routes: sheep wool actually detached from a wool-bearing skin at a fellmongery and sold greasy or fleece-washed, and species/grade-qualified coarse animal hair actually clipped, combed, gathered or separated from an eligible documented source. These routes are not physically interchangeable and must not be blended into an unspecified average. State the species, source event, harvest method, grade, moisture, contamination, net sale mass and actual farm, collection or fellmongery handover gate. Fleece remaining attached to a sold skin is not pulled wool. Exclude live-shorn sheep wool, fine animal hair, detached horsehair/bristles outside this category, carded or combed textile preparations, scoured wool, yarn, tanned leather and a whole skin. Washing a skin or fleece before pulling does not authorize downstream wool scouring.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
m_net	every sold lot	Mass	kg	Calibrated gross minus package tare and separable foreign matter gives net as-sold fibre; record moisture separately.
m_state	washed or dried batches	Mass and measured moisture fraction	kg;kg/kg	Reconcile before/after mass and water; no universal greasy-to-clean or washed-to-dry conversion.
m_balance	each separation and grade batch	Mass	kg	Reconcile input, intended fibres, denuded skin, downgrade, rejects, spent water and moisture loss with measured uncertainty.
m_period	upstream and shared services	Service measure and time	service unit;period	Index animal phases, skin acquisition, asset service and output events once.
inventory_reference_normalization	all inventory rows	Actual flow property	exchange unit per reference flow	The inventory and collection aggregation fields below express final amounts per declared reference flow. Keep all raw collection records, original denominator qualifiers, route/period strata, unit conversions and allocation requirements. For each flow, first obtain its attributable amount in its own numerator unit using the existing rules; then divide by the measured accepted reference-output quantity of the same scope and multiply by the declared reference quantity. Do not mix species, states, gates or incompatible routes; count transfers and shared burdens once. A missing, zero or untraceable accepted-output denominator is a blocking data-quality issue. Keep provisional QA ranges on their explicitly stated bases; they are not conversion factors or production defaults. These are final foreground-package contributions, not replacements for stage quantitative references or stage-native unit-process datasets. Retain stage records separately. Compute normalized amount = attributable raw amount * declared reference quantity / measured accepted final reference-output quantity. Apply normalization exactly once.
stage_throughput_linkage	stage records and final package contributions	Actual flow property and its stated raw basis	retain native numerator and stage denominator units	Keep the original lot, event, cohort, period and stage denominators with their units. Reconstruct the attributable numerator A with measured stage quantity Q_stage and documented attribution before final normalization. If a quoted amount a_B corresponds to an explicit stage basis B_stage (for example, 1000 kg), use A = a_B * Q_stage / B_stage. If r_stage is already an intensity in exchange-unit per stage-unit, instead use A = r_stage * Q_stage, with no second division by B_stage. A raw attributable total is used directly. Final contribution = A * declared reference quantity / measured accepted final output. Convert compatible units explicitly and apply each attribution/allocation share exactly once; never treat a quoted amount or intensity as a raw total. Link stage transfers, losses, rejects, stocks, shared services and allocation to the same actual route, period and final-output stratum. For a 1000 kg basis retain 1000 kg explicitly. Do not assume unit yield, equal fresh/dried mass, equal head mass, equal dose quality or interchangeable gates. Missing links, unsupported unit conversion, zero denominators and untraceable allocation block dataset production. Stage-native datasets retain their own stage reference; package contributions are a separate projection.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Documented wool-bearing sheep skin entering fellmongery, or documented species-specific coarse-hair source entering an independent harvest event.
starting_condition_role	Upstream animal husbandry, slaughter or lawful recovery supplies compatible burdens. Fellmongery starts with a separately burdened skin; live-animal hair capture records actual harvest services without treating the entire animal as consumed. Post-mortem coarse source requires a traceable material interface.
product_classification_scope	Only detached raw pulled wool or qualifying raw coarse animal hair.
recursive_input_rule	Purchased same-category fibre retains its upstream burden; it is not recaptured as new output.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Trace animal/skin source, earlier outputs and period allocation; do not assign zero burden to skin or fibre by default.
disclosure	Route, species, source event, co-products, skin/pelt and fibre handoffs, grade, moisture, gate, shared assets and allocation.

Boundary Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
b_routes	source and capture	Pulled route begins with a separately acquired wool-bearing sheep skin. Coarse route uses actual live clipping/combing/collection or eligible documented post-mortem separation, never a fictional fellmongery chemical step. Earlier breeding, meat, dairy and fibre phases remain in compatible upstream data.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4;un-cpc-3-notes
b_pull	pulled route	Actual skin wash, detachment aid, pulling and denuded-pelt handover are included only when performed. Saleable pelt is a distinct intended output; wool still attached to an unsplit skin is not a second product. Tanning is outside.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
b_condition	both routes	First skirting, particulate removal and drying are included as performed; fleece-washing must be declared. Exclude later scouring and textile carding/combing.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4;fao-animal-fibres-ch5
b_gate	final handover	Protect and weigh raw fibre at its actual farm, collection or fellmongery gate; packaging within boundary, distribution beyond gate excluded.	un-cpc-3-notes

6. Process Inventory Structure

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
pull	Skin-to-wool separation	conditional	pulled route only	Independent removal from separately obtained skin; hand off wool, saleable pelt and residuals.	kg detached wool and pelt
coarse	Coarse-hair capture	conditional	coarse route only	Independent clipping, combing or collection; no fictitious skin treatment.	kg captured coarse hair
condition	First raw-fibre conditioning	required	both routes, operations as performed	Skirt/clean and dry; distinguish raw input and prepared output.	kg prepared raw fibre
grade	Raw-fibre grading	required	both routes	Separate accepted, saleable downgraded and rejected states and destinations.	kg graded raw fibre
pack	Protective presentation and handover	required	both routes	Protect weighed fibre to actual gate, excluding later transport.	kg net market fibre

The pull and coarse capture nodes are mutually exclusive for a source lot. Pulling is independent of prior husbandry/slaughter and later fibre conditioning. Shared capture tools, fellmongery wash, dryer, sorting floor and press are charged by measured service or throughput across actual consumers and periods; a skin-processing burden is not charged again through the sold pelt.

Electricity at the equipment supply point (coarse_energy_electricity)

Collection scope and applicability for coarse_energy. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Polyethylene wrapping film (pack_material_pe_film)

Collection scope and applicability for pack_material. The following concrete identities have separate cards and apply only when use or generation is evidenced inside the original process scope. They are not mandatory inputs or a default recipe. Document non-use; missing records are not zero. Add a separate concrete card for any other actual material instead of substituting one of these names or UUIDs. Preserve attribution and boundaries and avoid double counting components included in outsourced services.

Identify single-use or reusable package and its service cycles; downstream freight excluded. Denominator and scope requirements：per kg net market raw fibre Raw quantity and calculation requirements: Count or weigh packages and allocate actual reuse cycles. Original collection denominator kind: process_output.

Confirm identity, grade, state and unit from equipment, supplier and contemporaneous measurements; the UUID remains unverified. Record composition, net mass, reuse cycles and return losses; attribute reusable items by actual use and separate packaging from product mass. Keep distinct treatment destinations separate without assuming recycling credits.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
a_skin	pulled route	Attribute inherited skin and pulling burdens between detached wool and separately sold denuded pelt using documented causal subdivision where supported; otherwise justify one physical or economic allocation for the complete output set with period/price evidence. Never assign zero by default or charge the skin twice. A nonsaleable pelt follows waste treatment.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
a_coarse	coarse route	Attribute actual animal phase burdens among coarse fibre and independently marketed milk, meat, fine down or other real outputs at their respective periods. Live capture does not consume the whole animal; post-mortem material uses its own traceable source allocation.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
a_period	both routes	Index breeding, lactation, fibre harvest, slaughter/recovery and replacement by actual cohort periods; assign each event and output once, with no universal lifetime or fibre yield.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
a_shared	both routes	Allocate shared capture tools, wash systems, dryers, sorting floor and press to actual consuming nodes and service periods by measured time, metered use or supported throughput; do not duplicate shared burden.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
a_grades	all grades	Each accepted and downgraded sale grade has one handover and attributable service; rejects and wastewater retain actual treatment burdens, not second product credits.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4

Concrete cards do not inherit numerical ranges from the former aggregate card. Determine quantities from original records, stock/meter reconciliation and the declared reference flow; no default quantity or numeric screen is supplied without evidence matching the identity, unit, period and boundary. Missing range evidence is a quality disclosure, not zero use or proof of completeness.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_residual_precedence	remaining common burden with no specified primary branch	Resolve any study-specific joint-product instruction in this PCR that has no specified primary branch using this precedence; retain an already explicitly prescribed category-specific primary method. First directly assign separable output-specific activities. For the remaining common burden B, use a physical driver d_i only when measured operation or biological-service records demonstrate the causal consumption represented by that driver. A product being weighable, valuable or lower grade alone is insufficient; do not switch arbitrarily between area, time, mass and revenue. For comparable grades receiving the same common handling, measured processed mass is applicable only with the same service demand, state and moisture basis demonstrated. Share a_i=d_i/sum(d_j); B_i=Ba_i. If no defensible causal physical driver exists for that common operation, use gate- and period-matched economic shares a_i=(q_ip_i)/sum(q_j*p_j), with the complete independently intended output set, compatible quantity/price units, currency, representative prices and values before output-specific downstream processing. Missing price or denominator evidence makes the allocated result incomplete, not a zero-priced product or a single-output system. Report shares summing to one and sensitivity to a material alternative; an alternative is not an interchangeable primary result. Waste, retained residues and internal transfers receive no co-product share, while their attributable production/handling burdens remain with the producing saleable route. Retain unallocated physical quantities and mass balances separately. This branch gives no automatic substitution credit; any separately scoped substitution analysis retains the gross inventory and its actual displaced-function evidence.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Specific input identification before dataset completion

Identify the actual input for this operation from supplier specifications, equipment and primary records. This is a mandatory collection requirement, not an exchange. Before dataset completeness, represent each used material, formulated product, carrier or independently purchased service by one physically specific card with its native quantity/property; confirm a compatible UUID, or retain an explicit unresolved identity and do not claim a fully linked dataset. Do not substitute a conditional example for an unknown actual input, invent a recipe, omit required use or infer zero from missing records. Attribute shared use, reusable assets and inclusive services once; preserve the original stage/period and measured throughput link to final reference output. The former aggregate range is not a component limit or consumption default.

requirement_id	collection_protocol_id	Preserved collection scope
pull_aid_specific_input	cp_pull	Operation pull: Record only an actual substance-specific detachment aid; no universal chemical recipe. Denominator and scope requirements：per kg detached pulled wool Raw quantity and calculation requirements: Weigh each substance input by batch and identify its chemistry. Original collection denominator kind: process_output. Original quantity method: Calculate the attributable final-package exchange under inventory_reference_normalization and stage_throughput_linkage using the matched raw records.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
c_net	sale lot	Net as-sold fibre = measured gross minus package tare and separable foreign matter; disclose moisture instead of clean-fibre conversion.	cp_pack	kg net fibre	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
c_balance	each node	Incoming skin/fibre plus measured water/aids = product outputs plus waste, moisture change, stock change and residual; investigate residual against meter uncertainty.	cp_pull;cp_coarse;cp_condition;cp_grade;cp_residue	kg residual by route	fao-animal-fibres-ch4

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
q_identity	each route and lot	Prove species, skin source or capture event, raw condition, grade, gate and category boundary.	source and grade tickets
q_mass	each batch	Calibrate scales/meters, measure moisture and reconcile skin/pelt/wool or coarse hair without default conversion.	calibration and mass balance
q_attribution	outputs and periods	Retain animal phase, inherited skin burden, pelt/hair sale, shared equipment and allocation worksheet.	cohort, source, invoice and service records
q_uuid	concrete exchange	Resolve exact flow type, state, direction, property and gate before final TIDAS exchange.	verified platform detail and support rows

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
v_scope	reference lot	Reject shorn wool, fine hair, attached fleece in sold skin, carded/combed/scoured material or absent route, species, state, net mass or gate.	un-cpc-3-notes
v_route	source and capture	Pulled lots require separate incoming skin and detached wool/pelt outputs; coarse lots require actual species/event and must not inherit fictional skin wash/depilation.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
v_mass	each batch	Reconcile all grades, pelt, rejects, utilities and moisture within measured uncertainty; reject undocumented raw-to-clean factors.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
v_attribution	animal and shared services	Reject duplicate attached/detached wool, unsupported zero-burden skin, repeated animal period, pelt or shared-asset burden.	fao-animal-fibres-ch4
v_uuid	final exchanges	Unresolved cards remain semantic only; each final exchange requires one detail-verified concrete UUID and compatible property/unit group.
v_foreground_emission_responsibility	Actual operated nodes and linked services	Record responsibility for on-site fuel combustion and refrigerant leakage when applicable: either quantified foreground emissions or a named linked process explicitly covering them, never merely a fuel-supply or electricity-production input. Assess special-taxon biological and residue emissions using species/route evidence, without a generic livestock factor. Identify any unresolved pathway and withhold a completeness claim; document supported absence and prevent duplicate upstream/downstream accounting.
