1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers the CPC 3.0 category of vinegar and edible vinegar substitutes obtained by diluting or formulating food-grade acetic acid. It supports foreground data packages for finished products at the plant gate, including fermentation vinegars made from agricultural substrates or agricultural alcohol and liquid food products formulated from acetic acid for vinegar-like use.

The foreground data package shall declare the specific product form and route. Fermentation vinegar and an acetic-acid-based substitute are distinct products and shall not be represented by one another. The category-labelled Tiangong flow in Section 3 is a representative identity for finished liquid vinegar only. If a more specific real Tiangong flow matches the actual substrate, route, physical form, market specification, or packaging state, that flow shall replace the representative flow. The representative UUID shall never be silently reused for an acetic-acid substitute, buffered vinegar powder, concentrated semi-finished acid, or another materially different form.

The PCR excludes industrial acetic acid sold as a chemical, acetate salts and buffered vinegar powders, sauces and pickled foods in which vinegar is only an ingredient, non-food cleaning products, and upstream production processes that are represented by separate supplier datasets. Packaging is included only when the declared plant-gate product is supplied packaged.

2. Product Category Identity

Field	Value
canonical_pcr_id	pcr.food-products-beverages-and-tobacco-textiles-apparel-and-leather-products.grain-mill-products-starches-and-starch-products-other-food-products.vinegar-and-substitutes-therefor-obtained-from-acetic-acid

How much	1 kg net product
How well	Conforming to the declared product identity, route, acid-strength specification, physical form, market or jurisdictional specification, and packaging state
How long or cycle	One production batch or reporting-period output delivered at the declared plant gate; use and storage duration are outside this reference function
reference_flow_link	The functional unit is realized by exactly 1 kg of the declared finished product. The category-labelled representative flow is used only for finished liquid vinegar when no more specific real flow is available.

Field	Value
Reference amount	1 kg
Reference product flow	Vinegar and substitutes therefor obtained from acetic acid `20393649-bcc3-43f0-a2df-1a99c0005e29`

Reference unit group	Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66`
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	specific product name and form; fermentation vinegar or acetic-acid-substitute route; agricultural substrate or acetic-acid origin; acid strength and test basis; physical state; bulk or packaged state; geography and market specification; production technology; aging and thermal treatment when applicable; selected product-flow UUID and reason for any replacement

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
`reference_mass`	reference product	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Normalize to measured net product mass at the declared plant gate. Packaging mass is excluded from product mass and recorded separately. Convert volume to mass only with a batch- or product-specific measured density and retain the density, temperature, and method.
`representative_flow_use`	reference product identity	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Use `20393649-bcc3-43f0-a2df-1a99c0005e29` only for the exact category-labelled representative finished liquid vinegar. Declare the actual form and replace this UUID whenever a more specific real flow exists; do not use it silently for substitutes or other forms.
`acid_strength_reporting`	finished product quality	product-specific concentration property	declared laboratory unit	Report acid strength separately from product mass with the test method, sampling point, temperature where relevant, and market specification. Do not infer product mass from nominal acid strength.
`packaging_mass`	packaged output	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Record each packaging material separately per 1 kg net product; do not include container or closure mass in the reference product amount.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Purchased agricultural or alcoholic feedstock, food-grade acetic acid, process water, ingredients, cultures, energy carriers, cleaning materials, and packaging enter with upstream datasets; foreground modelling starts at the first on-site transformation or formulation step.
starting_condition_role	Cradle-to-gate foreground manufacturing with supplier burdens represented by linked upstream datasets
product_classification_scope	The full CPC 3.0 23994 semantic category is covered, while each foreground package selects one declared product form and route.
recursive_input_rule	Purchased vinegar, substitute, mother vinegar, or rework from the same category is recorded once as a product input with its own upstream dataset. Do not recursively reopen that supplier dataset inside the receiving process. Internal recirculation within the same reported system is not counted as a new external input.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link representative upstream datasets for all material and energy inputs crossing the plant boundary, including the declared feedstock or food-grade acetic acid. Supplier-specific data are preferred where materially relevant.
disclosure	Declare route, feedstock origin, whether alcoholic fermentation is on site, acetification technology, formulation recipe basis, aging, finishing and thermal treatment, plant-gate packaging state, included utilities, data period, geography, and any excluded activity.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
`boundary_route_selection`	all foreground packages	Select and disclose either the fermentation-vinegar route or the acetic-acid-substitute route. Include only route-applicable processes and never use fermentation-vinegar identity claims for a formulated substitute.	`unsd-cpc-v3-2025`; `eu-commission-2016-263`; `us-fda-cpg-562-100`
`boundary_foreground_operations`	manufacturing plant	Include on-site feedstock preparation and alcoholic fermentation when performed, acetification or acetic-acid formulation, finishing, directly attributable utilities, cleaning, waste and wastewater handling to the point they leave the foreground boundary, and conditional packaging.	`spain-rd-661-2012-consolidated-2026`; `mas-et-al-2014-wine-vinegar`; `jrc-fdm-bref-2019`
`boundary_upstream_inputs`	purchased inputs	Represent purchased feedstocks, food-grade acetic acid, ingredients, cultures, water, energy carriers, cleaning materials, and packaging with upstream datasets; do not treat their supplier production as zero burden.	`jrc-fdm-bref-2019`
`boundary_downstream_exclusions`	plant-gate result	Exclude distribution, retail, consumer storage and use, and end-of-life after the plant gate unless the study explicitly expands the boundary and reports that expansion separately.	`eu-pef-2021-2279`
`boundary_representative_identity`	reference flow	The verified category-labelled vinegar flow is only a representative product form. A package for a substitute or another materially different form must select a matching real flow when available and disclose any remaining proxy.	`unsd-cpc-v3-2025`; `eu-commission-2016-263`; `us-fda-cpg-562-100`

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_route_selection`	all foreground packages	Select and disclose either the fermentation-vinegar route or the acetic-acid-substitute route. Include only route-applicable processes and never use fermentation-vinegar identity claims for a formulated substitute.	unsd-cpc-v3-2025, eu-commission-2016-263, us-fda-cpg-562-100
`boundary_foreground_operations`	manufacturing plant	Include on-site feedstock preparation and alcoholic fermentation when performed, acetification or acetic-acid formulation, finishing, directly attributable utilities, cleaning, waste and wastewater handling to the point they leave the foreground boundary, and conditional packaging.	spain-rd-661-2012-consolidated-2026, mas-et-al-2014-wine-vinegar, jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`boundary_upstream_inputs`	purchased inputs	Represent purchased feedstocks, food-grade acetic acid, ingredients, cultures, water, energy carriers, cleaning materials, and packaging with upstream datasets; do not treat their supplier production as zero burden.	jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`boundary_downstream_exclusions`	plant-gate result	Exclude distribution, retail, consumer storage and use, and end-of-life after the plant gate unless the study explicitly expands the boundary and reports that expansion separately.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_representative_identity`	reference flow	The verified category-labelled vinegar flow is only a representative product form. A package for a substitute or another materially different form must select a matching real flow when available and disclose any remaining proxy.	unsd-cpc-v3-2025, eu-commission-2016-263, us-fda-cpg-562-100

Allocation rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoid`	all multifunctional processes	First avoid allocation by subdividing meters, batch records, equipment time, and material records so inputs and outputs are directly assigned to the declared product. Use system expansion only when it is justified and the expanded function is reported.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_physical`	inseparable co-products	If subdivision or justified system expansion is not possible, use a documented causal physical relationship relevant to the shared process, such as measured mass, dry matter, acid content, or processing time. Explain why the selected relationship represents resource use; do not choose mass by default when it is not causal.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_other`	no defensible physical relationship	Use another relationship such as economic value only when no relevant physical relationship can be established. Record price basis, geography, time period, currency, co-product quantities, and sensitivity.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_waste_rework`	wastes, residues, and rework	Internal rework carries its already-recorded burdens and is not counted as a new external input or co-product. Classify outputs as waste or co-product from documented destination and economic function before allocation; disclose any burden or credit assigned.	eu-pef-2021-2279, jrc-fdm-bref-2019

Validation rules · 7

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`validate_category_and_route`	product identity	Confirm that the product belongs to CPC 3.0 code 23994 and that exactly one product route is declared. A formulated acetic-acid substitute shall not be labelled or modelled as fermentation vinegar.	unsd-cpc-v3-2025, eu-commission-2016-263, us-fda-cpg-562-100
`validate_reference_identity`	reference flow	Confirm 1 kg net mass, Mass UUID, Units of mass UUID, kg, required qualifiers, and selected product-flow UUID. Fail if the representative UUID is used for a substitute or materially different form without a documented proxy and no more specific real flow search.
`validate_route_processes`	process map	Fermentation-vinegar packages shall include acetification and shall include feedstock preparation or alcoholic fermentation when performed on site. Substitute packages shall include food-grade acetic acid formulation. All packages shall include finishing and conditional packaging.	spain-rd-661-2012-consolidated-2026, mas-et-al-2014-wine-vinegar
`validate_boundary_completeness`	foreground inventory	Check applicable material, energy, water, cleaning, internal transfer, waste, wastewater, direct-emission, and product rows against source records and investigate unexplained mass-balance residuals.	jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`validate_allocation`	shared processes	Verify direct assignment was attempted first, the selected allocation relationship is relevant and documented, and economic allocation is used only after the earlier hierarchy steps are shown infeasible.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`validate_temporal_coverage`	reporting period	Verify the production, material, utility, waste, emission, and product-output records cover the same declared period and sites, with gaps disclosed.	jrc-fdm-bref-2019
`validate_packaging_state`	plant-gate output	Confirm that packaging inventory is present when the output is packaged and absent or separately excluded when the declared output is bulk; product mass shall remain net of packaging.
