Handkerchiefs, shawls, scarves, veils, ties, cravats, gloves and other made-up clothing accessories, of textile fabric, not knitted or crocheted; parts of garments or of clothing accessories, of textile fabric, not knitted or crocheted n.e.c.

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for factory production of made-up clothing accessories and garment or clothing-accessory parts within CPC 3.0 subclass 28238. Covered finished accessories include handkerchiefs, shawls, scarves, veils, ties, cravats, non-knitted textile gloves and comparable made-up accessories. Covered intermediate products are identifiable garment or clothing-accessory parts made from textile fabric that is not knitted or crocheted and that are not more specifically classified elsewhere.

The common foreground route starts with finished woven or otherwise non-knitted, non-crocheted textile fabrics, interlining, sewing materials and trims received at the reporting factory. It includes pattern or shape cutting, edge making, sewing and assembly, conditional washing or other finishing, inspection, rework, labelling and packaging, and ends with conforming accessories or parts released at the factory gate. Upstream fibre, yarn, fabric, interlining, trim and packaging production is linked through supplier-specific or representative upstream datasets.

Knitted or crocheted accessories and parts, leather or plastics accessories, sports gloves, hats and headgear, finished garments classified elsewhere, and fabric sold by the piece rather than as a made-up accessory or identifiable garment part are excluded. Distribution, retail, consumer use and care, repair, reuse and end-of-life are outside this factory-gate foreground boundary.

Each applicable material, utility, waste and direct emission shall be represented by its own atomic exchange. A route-specific exchange may be absent only when the dataset declares the route condition and retains evidence that it did not occur.

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	Normalize all foreground exchanges to exactly 1 kg of conforming accessory or garment-part net output; exclude packaging, irreparable rejects and rework-in-process from reference mass.
material_mass	fabrics, interlining, thread, trims, detergents, packaging and solid wastes	Mass	kg	Use calibrated scale, invoice, stock-issue or BOM records and reconcile issued, returned, incorporated, rejected and discarded mass for the same production period.
product_count	assembly and sewing allocation	Number of items	item	Retain accepted item count and net mass per item so unit-based sewing and assembly burdens can be converted transparently to the 1 kg reference flow.
electricity_use	cutting, assembly, finishing and packaging electricity	Energy	kWh	Use process sub-metering where available; otherwise calculate from documented equipment power and operating time and disclose the allocation basis.
steam_use	purchased steam used for pressing, drying or wet finishing	Mass	kg	Record delivered steam mass and condition from supplier meter or invoice; do not combine steam with electricity, natural gas, diesel or LPG.
water_use	washing or wet finishing	Mass	kg	Meter water supplied to each applicable wet operation; if volume is measured, document density and temperature conversion.
packaging_mass	sale and transport packaging	Mass	kg	Report every packaging material separately per 1 kg net product and do not add packaging mass to the reference product.

boundary_conditional_finishing	washing, printing, embellishment and finishing	Include only operations actually performed at the reporting factory; declare absence explicitly and add an atomic exchange for every additional chemical, fuel, refrigerant, waste or direct emission used by an applicable route.	afw-pefcr-3-1; eu-textiles-bat-2022-2508
boundary_downstream_exclusion	downstream life-cycle stages	Exclude distribution beyond the factory gate, retail, consumer use and care, repair, reuse and end-of-life from this foreground package; downstream studies shall add those stages separately.	afw-pefcr-3-1
boundary_same_category_recursion	same-category accessory or part inputs	Record purchased or transferred CPC 28238 accessories or parts crossing the boundary as explicit product inputs linked to an upstream dataset; do not recursively recreate uncontrolled production.	ec-pef-2021-2279

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value

disclosure	Declare BOM coverage, product subtype, garment-part status, excluded and subcontracted operations, route-specific finishing, factory geography, allocation bases, mass-balance residuals, packaging configuration, data gaps and UUIDs withheld pending exact Tiangong identity confirmation.
