1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR builds a site-input-to-factory-gate foreground data package for apparel and clothing accessories, including gloves, classified exactly to CPC 28243 and defined by plastics. It covers cut-and-join plastic film/sheet routes and PVC-compatible plastisol glove dipping; each dataset selects only its actual route and specific atomic exchanges. It excludes leather articles, vulcanized-rubber gloves, ordinary textile apparel, footwear, and CPC 28250 garments made from felt, nonwovens, or textile fabrics impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics, rubber, or other materials.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

Avoid allocation with route-, line-, lot-, and product-specific records. Internal rework is not a waste output. Allocate shared meters by causal drivers such as machine time, measured throughput, thermal demand, or wastewater volume; use and disclose mass allocation only when no better relation exists. List saleable by-products separately and do not credit avoided burdens for waste recycling inside this foreground package.

Structured rule index

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

System boundary rules · 1

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`system_boundary_rule_1`	foreground_system_boundary	The boundary begins when exact purchased materials, water, packaging, and utilities enter the reporting site and ends with 1 kg accepted packaged CPC 28243 product. Include actual compounding, forming, conversion, finishing, packaging, attributable site services, and treatment. Connect purchased-input upstreams and downstream distribution, use, and end-of-life in the downstream model.

Allocation rules · 1

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_rule_1`	foreground_burden_allocation	Avoid allocation with route-, line-, lot-, and product-specific records. Internal rework is not a waste output. Allocate shared meters by causal drivers such as machine time, measured throughput, thermal demand, or wastewater volume; use and disclose mass allocation only when no better relation exists. List saleable by-products separately and do not credit avoided burdens for waste recycling inside this foreground package.

Validation rules · 8

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule
`validation_rule_1`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_reference_identity: Reference flow is Product, CPC 28243, Mass, Units of mass, kg, and the confirmed UUID.
`validation_rule_2`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_reference_amount: Normalized net product output is exactly 1 kg; packaging mass is excluded.
`validation_rule_3`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_route_atomicity: Every card contains one exact exchange and its actual route condition holds.
`validation_rule_4`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_carrier_separation: Electricity, steam, hot water, natural gas, diesel, LPG, R-134a, and every material, waste, and emission remain separate.
`validation_rule_5`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_no_estimate_range: No AI, author, or reasoned-estimate quantity range is used; missing quantities remain foreground records.
`validation_rule_6`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_balances: Polymer, solvent, water, refrigerant, and product balances close to records.
`validation_rule_7`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_bilingual_identity: EN/ZH process_id, direction, flow_type, row_id, order, controlled values, source_id, and UUID align.
`validation_rule_8`	foreground_dataset_conformance	val_uuid_gate: Add a non-reference UUID only after hybrid search and direct state-code-100 dual verification.
