1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers dry or dehydrated fruits of a declared Capsicum species or berries of a declared Pimenta species that are processed as whole, cut, broken, cracked, crushed, flaked, ground or powdered products. Drying itself may be the processing step, or a facility may receive already dried material and perform sorting, microbial reduction, size reduction, formulation or packaging.

A foreground data package shall represent exactly one declared botanical species and cultivar or trade type, one incoming raw-material state, one drying and post-treatment route, one particle form and particle-size specification, and one packaging state. It shall not average sweet paprika, pungent chilli, Pimenta allspice, fresh and previously dried inputs, or whole and powdered products.

The scope excludes fresh unprocessed peppers, products of Piper nigrum, sauces, pastes, oleoresins, essential oils, extracts, blends whose identity is no longer a single declared pepper product, and cultivation or post-plant-gate distribution unless those stages are supplied as linked datasets.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
`reference_net_mass`	reference product	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Measure net pepper product mass after subtracting the measured packaging tare; packaging is inventoried separately.
`botanical_state_separation`	incoming pepper material	Mass	kg	Record mass independently by scientific species, cultivar or trade type and fresh or dried incoming state; do not average or combine botanical identities or states.
`moisture_basis_alignment`	incoming, intermediate and final pepper material	Mass fraction	kg/kg	Record each moisture result and whether it is wet-basis or dry-basis; all drying mass-balance terms shall use a consistent declared basis.
`energy_unit_conversion`	electricity and thermal energy	Energy	kWh or MJ	Preserve the metered unit; when conversion is required, use 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ and retain the original record.
`water_unit_conversion`	washing and cleaning water	Volume or Mass	m3 or kg	Preserve the measured unit; any mass-volume conversion shall use a measured or source-disclosed density for the relevant water condition.

5. System Boundary

The foreground boundary starts when the one declared pepper raw material is accepted at the reporting facility and ends when 1 kg net packaged processed dry pepper leaves the plant gate. It includes the applicable foreground operations and direct exchanges below. Upstream production of the accepted botanical raw material, purchased utilities, chemicals and packaging, and off-site waste treatment are represented by linked upstream datasets rather than silently absorbed into this foreground inventory.

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	One botanically explicit Capsicum fruit or Pimenta berry feedstock is accepted at the reporting facility in one declared fresh or previously dried state and moisture condition.
starting_condition_role	Foreground gate input whose identity and state determine which preparation, drying and downstream process rows apply.
product_classification_scope	Processed dry or dehydrated Capsicum or Pimenta products within CPC 3.0 subclass 23922; no averaging across species or product forms.
recursive_input_rule	If a purchased input is already a processed dry pepper in this same category, record that exact product input once with its upstream dataset, disclose which downstream processing remains, and stop recursive category expansion at that input.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link representative upstream datasets for the declared botanical feedstock and incoming state, each purchased utility, each actual chemical or ingredient, each packaging component and each off-site treatment service.
disclosure	Declare species and cultivar or trade type, raw-material state, moisture basis, all included and omitted processes, drying and microbial-treatment technology, particle form, ingredients, packaging, storage, geography, period and allocation choices.

`boundary_recursive_product`	same-category input	Stop recursive expansion at a purchased processed dry pepper input after recording its exact identity and linked upstream dataset; do not count upstream drying twice.	`eu-pef-2021-2279`

6. Process Inventory Structure

Every flow card below is one atomic exchange. A concrete data package retains only the botanical, technology, ingredient, packaging, fuel, refrigerant, waste and emission rows that actually apply and supplies foreground records or calculations for them. An unused candidate is not averaged into another row.

Structured rule index

This index comes from verified structured.yaml and retains the canonical English rule text.

System boundary rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`system_boundary_rule_1`	foreground_system_boundary	The foreground boundary starts when the one declared pepper raw material is accepted at the reporting facility and ends when 1 kg net packaged processed dry pepper leaves the plant gate. It includes the applicable foreground operations and direct exchanges below. Upstream production of the accepted botanical raw material, purchased utilities, chemicals and packaging, and off-site waste treatment are represented by linked upstream datasets rather than silently absorbed into this foreground inventory.
`boundary_route_lock`	foreground package	Include only the process route used for the declared product and explain every conditional process included or omitted.	codex-cxc-42-1995, eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_upstream_links`	purchased inputs	Keep upstream production outside the foreground facility model but link an upstream dataset for every accepted raw material, utility, chemical, ingredient and packaging component.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_direct_releases`	facility emissions and wastes	Include each direct air emission, wastewater pollutant and waste stream generated by the included foreground processes.	jrc-fdm-bref-2019, eu-fdm-bat-2019-2031
`boundary_packaging`	reference product	Include the actual primary, secondary and tertiary packaging used to deliver the reference product at the plant gate, while keeping packaging mass outside the 1 kg net product amount.	codex-cxc-42-1995, eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_recursive_product`	same-category input	Stop recursive expansion at a purchased processed dry pepper input after recording its exact identity and linked upstream dataset; do not count upstream drying twice.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Allocation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoidance`	shared equipment and utilities	Prefer subdivision, dedicated metering or a documented physical driver tied to operating time, throughput or measured energy demand before applying allocation.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_stalk_seed_status`	Capsicum stalks and seeds	Classify each separated stream exclusively as internal rework, co-product or waste from documented destination and function; never record the same mass in more than one status.	codex-cxs-353-2022, eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_physical_relation`	unavoidable multi-output process	When subdivision is not possible, use a documented physical relationship that reflects how inputs and emissions relate to the functions of the outputs.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_economic_last_resort`	multi-output process lacking a defensible physical relation	Economic allocation may be used only after documenting why subdivision and physical allocation are not feasible; use prices at the point where co-products leave the process and disclose period and source.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_waste_treatment`	wastes sent off site	Assign foreground collection and handling to the generating process; model downstream recovery, treatment or disposal with the linked treatment dataset and avoid double counting credits.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_internal_rework`	pepper material returned within the facility	Treat internal rework as an internal loop, not a second product output or raw-material input; disclose losses and any boundary-crossing transfer.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Validation rules · 10

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`validate_reference_identity`	reference flow	Confirm the product UUID is fa9bf702-43d4-414e-a2da-0dad135e5df7, the flow property is 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66, the unit group is 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, and the reference amount is exactly 1 kg net product.	un-cpc-3.0-23922
`validate_dataset_lock`	dataset identity	Fail when scientific species, cultivar or trade type, incoming state, drying route, product form, particle specification or packaging configuration is missing or represents an average across alternatives.	un-cpc-3.0-23922, codex-cxs-353-2022, codex-cxs-358-2024
