Women's or girls' blouses, shirts, petticoats, panties, nightdresses, dressing gowns and similar articles, knitted or crocheted

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for the manufacture of saleable women's or girls' knitted or crocheted blouses, shirts, petticoats, panties, nightdresses, dressing gowns, and similar articles. It begins when knitted or crocheted fabric, trims, auxiliaries, and packaging materials enter the reporting manufacturing site and ends when finished articles leave the site gate. It supports product-specific cutting, sewing and assembly, conditional garment wet processing, pressing and finishing, inspection, and sale packaging.

The PCR does not treat fibre production, yarn manufacture, knitting or crocheting of fabric, upstream fabric dyeing or finishing, distribution, retail, consumer use, repair, or end-of-life as foreground operations. These stages remain visible through linked upstream or downstream datasets when required by the study scope. Woven or otherwise non-knitted apparel, men's or boys' garments, hosiery, T-shirts, sweaters, outerwear, and products outside CPC 28224 are excluded.

This is a mass-based manufacturing data-production rule. It is not a comparative cradle-to-grave apparel functional unit and must not be used by itself for consumer-facing product comparisons.

excluded_use	Direct comparison of apparel products; claims for woven apparel or other CPC categories; substitution for missing fibre, yarn, fabric, distribution, use, or end-of-life inventories; use without product and route qualifiers
required_metadata	PCR id and version; CPC 28224; style or SKU; subtype and target group; fibre composition and BOM; size basis; net product mass; included processes; wet-processing route; site and geography; technology; reporting period; energy supply; packaging configuration; allocation; upstream dataset identities; waste destinations
required_quality_disclosure	Primary-data share; BOM coverage; measurement and calibration basis; temporal, geographical, and technological representativeness; allocation drivers; material-balance results; unresolved UUIDs; proxies; exclusions; missing data; uncertainty and review status
update_trigger	Change in product construction or BOM; fibre composition; size basis; manufacturing site or line; wet-processing recipe; energy or water supply; wastewater or waste treatment; packaging configuration; allocation method; reference flow identity; or evidence and data older than the declared representativeness period
