1. Scope and Applicability
This PCR governs foreground data packages for manufacture of an explicitly declared tea-derived or maté-derived extract, essence, concentrate, soluble powder, or preparation. A data package shall declare exactly one botanical route (tea from Camellia sinensis or mate from Ilex paraguariensis) and exactly one delivered product state (liquid_extract, liquid_concentrate, powder, essence, or formulated_preparation). Tea and maté routes, liquid and powder routes, and spray-dried and freeze-dried routes shall not be combined as defaults.
The foreground boundary begins with receipt of the declared tea or maté raw material and ends with packaged product at factory storage. It covers screening, water addition, extraction, solid-liquid separation, clarification or filtration, concentration, applicable aroma recovery, powder drying only for a declared powder route, formulation only for a declared preparation, applicable heat treatment, sanitation, packaging, storage, on-site thermal utilities, and refrigeration. Cultivation, primary tea manufacture, primary maté preparation, ingredient production, packaging-material production, purchased utilities, distribution, retail, consumer preparation, and end of life require linked upstream or downstream datasets and are not silently included in the foreground.

This index comes from verified structured.yaml and retains the canonical English rule text.
System boundary rules · 4
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
boundary_foreground_steps | foreground manufacturing | Include raw-material receipt and screening, water addition, extraction, separation, clarification or filtration, concentration, applicable route steps, sanitation, packaging, storage, and directly controlled utilities. | fao-who-jmpr-boscalid-2019, ec-jrc-fdm-bref-2019 |
boundary_route_exclusivity | route selection | Declare one botanical source and one delivered product state; include aroma recovery, spray drying, freeze drying, formulation, heat treatment, fuel combustion, and refrigeration only when the declared route uses them. | iso-6079-2021, dao-et-al-2021-tea-spray-drying |
boundary_complete_exchanges | process inventory | Record all materially relevant material and energy inputs, wastes, wastewater, and direct elementary flows without collection labels or combined utility rows. | eu-pef-method-2021, ec-jrc-fdm-bref-2019 |
boundary_upstream_links | purchased inputs | Link each purchased raw material, ingredient, aid, filter medium, cleaning chemical, packaging component, refrigerant, and utility to an upstream dataset with matching identity and geography; do not assign zero burden when a provider is missing. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
Allocation rules · 4
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivision_first | botanical, product-state, drying, formulation, utility, and packaging routes | Subdivide meters, batches, and process records before allocation so tea and maté, liquid and powder, spray and freeze drying, and different formulations are not averaged by default. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_internal_recovery | recovered water, solvent, aroma, and rework | Treat material returned within the same product system as an internal loop; record make-up and losses and do not create an avoided-burden credit for internal recovery. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_residue_status | spent leaves, filter cake, sludge, and product losses | Treat outputs as waste unless a documented specification, transfer, purchaser, and destination demonstrate a co-product. Do not assign a credit solely because a possible use exists. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_unavoidable_multifunctionality | jointly produced saleable outputs after subdivision | If allocation remains unavoidable, document the physical relationship that drives the shared process and allocate on that basis; if no defensible physical relationship exists, use economic allocation and disclose prices, period, geography, and sensitivity. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
Validation rules · 11
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
validate_reference_identity | reference flow | Exactly one botanical source and one delivered product state are declared, the output row matches them, and no approximate Tiangong reference-product UUID is used. | unsd-cpc-3-0-2025, iso-6079-2021 |
validate_reference_mass | reference amount | Net released product equals exactly 1 kg after normalization and packaging mass is separate. | |
validate_route_exclusivity | process map | Tea and maté, liquid and powder, spray and freeze drying, and different formulations are not simultaneously defaulted; every conditional process has a declared applicability decision. | iso-6079-2021, dao-et-al-2021-tea-spray-drying |
validate_atomic_inventory | inventory rows | Every selected flow is one material, carrier, ingredient, aid, medium, waste, or elementary emission; combined collections and selector labels fail validation. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
validate_mass_solids_balance | production batch | Wet-mass and dry-solids balances reconcile within the site's documented measurement uncertainty, or the difference is investigated and disclosed. | fao-who-jmpr-boscalid-2019 |
validate_energy_fuels | utilities | Electricity, purchased steam, purchased heat, natural gas, and each other fuel are separately recorded; direct combustion emissions are present when fuel is combusted on site. | ec-jrc-fdm-bref-2019 |
validate_formulation | preparation route | The approved formulation BOM equals the sum of separately inventoried ingredients and processing aids after returns and losses; undeclared carriers, sugars, sweeteners, or additives fail validation. | |
validate_wastewater_waste | outputs | Tea residue, maté residue, filter residue, product loss, wastewater, sludge, and each packaging-waste material have separate amounts and destinations when applicable. | ec-jrc-fdm-bref-2019 |
validate_refrigerants | refrigeration | Each refrigerant identity, make-up, recovery, closing charge, and calculated leak are reconciled; a generic refrigerant row fails validation. | ec-jrc-fdm-bref-2019 |
validate_data_quality | published dataset | Temporal, technological, geographical, completeness, and precision evidence is retained and the data-quality assessment is reported. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
validate_ranges | quantitative guidance | No empirical range is accepted unless at least two independent original sources have compatible boundary, unit, and basis evidence; otherwise the range is omitted and the manifest evidence gap remains open. |
