7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_avoid_first | all multi-output and shared operations | First avoid allocation through subdivision, separate metering, batch records, or expansion of the process description; directly assign product-specific ingredients, packaging, energy, losses, and treatment records. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_physical_then_economic | inseparable co-products and remaining shared burdens | When subdivision cannot resolve a shared burden, use a documented physical relationship reflecting the underlying process causality. If no defensible physical relationship exists, use a documented economic relationship and perform a sensitivity check. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_foreground_factors | every allocated quantity | Derive quantities, composition, physical parameters, prices, and allocation factors from the same representative foreground period; no category-wide default factor is supplied by this PCR. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_positive_outputs | dairy co-products and recovered materials | Record co-products as positive outputs with identity, amount, composition, destination, and economic status. Do not use avoided-product substitution unless the declared study method separately requires and documents it. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
allocation_reconciliation | allocated results | Factors for each shared burden must sum to 1 within documented rounding tolerance, and allocated quantities must reconcile to the unallocated total. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |

Data Quality Requirements
| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
dq_scope_identity | product and reference flow | Retain all five scope-gate decisions, actual commercial identity, exact product-flow UUID, and manual reviewer evidence whenever the representative Milk flow is replaced or rejected. | classification record; specification; ingredient list; flow metadata; signed review |
dq_temporal | all foreground records | Use one coherent representative period and explain seasonality, shutdowns, abnormal lots, inventory carry-over, and substitutions. | dated meters; production calendar; exception log |
dq_technological | process route | Identify concentration, sweetening, heat-treatment, cooling, filling, storage, cleaning, recovery, and treatment technologies actually represented. | process flow diagram; equipment list; batch and operating records |
dq_geographical | inputs and linked datasets | Match dairy base, ingredients, energy, water, packaging, transport, and treatment datasets to the declared geography or justify every proxy. | supplier origin; dataset metadata; proxy rationale |
dq_completeness | mass, solids, energy, water, waste, and emissions | Reconcile process and facility records, disclose cut-offs and unresolved differences, and treat missing data as gaps rather than zeros. | signed balances; meter/invoice reconciliation; exclusion register |
dq_measurement | collected and calculated values | Retain instrument, calibration, sampling, analytical method, detection limit where relevant, formula, factor version, and responsible record owner. | calibration; laboratory QA; calculation workbook; audit trail |
dq_no_defaults | all non-reference quantities | Use foreground records or calculations from collected records. This PCR supplies no category-wide numerical inventory default or range for CPC 22229. | field-level provenance; collection protocol links; data-gap register |
dq_allocation | co-products and shared operations | Retain subdivision evidence, shared totals, factor basis, output data, calculation, sensitivity when required, and reconciliation. | allocation workbook; production and price records; sensitivity result |
9. Validation Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
validation_scope_path | product category | Reject automatic applicability unless the product passes scope_gate_1_dairy_identity through scope_gate_5_nec_review and the recorded CPC path is 222 > 2222 > 22229. | unsd-cpc-22229; codex-cxs-206-1999; codex-cxs-207-1999 |
validation_named_exclusions | classification decision | Reject evaporated milk, condensed milk, all solid-form milk or cream products, processed liquid milk, fresh cream, whey, fermented or acidified products, and non-dairy products from this PCR. | unsd-cpc-22229; codex-cxs-206-1999; codex-cxs-207-1999 |
validation_reference_flow_fit | reference product identity | Permit Milk 84a8c346-2832-400b-a2a6-421ef7701958 only when the actual qualifying product is milk. For cream or another semantic mismatch, require a replacement flow UUID and manual review; otherwise fail identity completeness. | unsd-cpc-22229; codex-cxs-206-1999 |
validation_reference_quantity | reference flow | Require exactly 1 kg net released product using Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66, unit group 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, and kg; packaging mass is separate. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
validation_required_qualifiers | foreground package metadata | Fail completeness when any required qualifier in Section 3 is missing, ambiguous, or inconsistent with the declared product, scope gate, route, or actual product flow. | unsd-cpc-22229; codex-cxs-206-1999 |
validation_process_coverage | foreground inventory | Require all four process-map rows and every applicable material, utility, packaging, cleaning, loss, waste, wastewater, co-product, and direct-emission record; a zero requires evidence and a missing record remains a gap. | eu-fdm-bref-2019; eu-pef-2021-2279 |
validation_foreground_only | non-reference quantities | Reject publication-quality completeness when a non-reference amount is an unsupported default, proxy, or reasoned numerical estimate instead of a foreground record or calculation from collected records. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
validation_balances | mass and solids | Require same-period mass balances and, when used in identity or allocation, solids balances; report and explain unresolved differences and retained inventory. | eu-fdm-bref-2019; eu-pef-2021-2279 |
validation_allocation | multi-output and shared operations | Require direct assignment first, a documented physical or economic factor basis for residual burdens, factors summing to 1 within rounding tolerance, reconciliation to shared totals, and sensitivity when economic allocation is used. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
validation_no_double_count | recovery, wastewater, utilities, and shared totals | Reject duplicate counting between internal transfers and final output, recovered water and purchased water, off-site wastewater treatment and direct water emissions, or assigned process data and residual facility totals. | eu-pef-2021-2279; eu-fdm-bref-2019 |
