7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivide_routes	fresh, ripened, and processed product routes	Subdivide by product state, line, batch, and separately metered operation before allocating shared burdens. Do not average fresh, ripened, and processed routes unless the reporting dataset explicitly represents that production mix.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_direct_measurement	directly attributable inputs and outputs	Assign goat milk, same-category cheese inputs, ingredients, brine, packaging, product losses, and route-specific utilities directly from batch or line records wherever possible.	eu-pef-2021-2279; eu-fdm-bat-2019
allocation_dairy_outputs	whey, cream, and other useful dairy outputs	Classify each output from its documented destination. If it is a co-product, apply the hierarchy required by the governing study method after subdivision and disclose the selected physical, economic, or other causal relation with site-period data. If it is waste, assign treatment without co-product credit.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_shared_services	shared refrigeration, steam, water, sanitation, and effluent systems	Use submetered or engineering-causal allocation based on the service driver supported by facility records. If neither is available, disclose the fallback basis and test its influence; do not prescribe a universal mass or economic factor.	eu-pef-2021-2279; eu-fdm-bat-2019
allocation_no_species_blending	mixed-species dairy inputs	Allocation cannot convert a mixed-species product into goat-milk cheese. Any non-goat dairy constituent makes this PCR inapplicable and requires reclassification.	unsd-cpc-3-22254; codex-cxs-206-1999
allocation_brine_and_packaging	brine and packaging	Keep packaging outside the reference mass. Assign brine production and loss according to measured use and the declared drained-cheese or cheese-plus-free-brine convention, without double counting retained brine.	eu-pef-2021-2279
