Women's or girls' suits, coats, jackets, dresses, skirts, trousers, shorts and the like, of textile fabric, not knitted or crocheted

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground production data for finished women's or girls' suits, coats, jackets, dresses, skirts, trousers, shorts and comparable garments made from textile fabric that is not knitted or crocheted. It covers a declared factory route from received shell fabric, linings, interlinings, trims and packaging materials through cutting, sewing and assembly, conditional garment wet finishing, pressing, quality control and packaging to an accepted finished product at the factory gate.

The PCR does not cover knitted or crocheted garments, shirts and underwear assigned to other product categories, babies' garments, track suits, ski suits, swimwear, fur apparel, footwear, stand-alone accessories, or upstream fibre, yarn, fabric, dyeing and fabric-finishing production performed outside the declared foreground facility. Distribution, retail, consumer use, repair and end-of-life are excluded from this foreground package. Those stages may be added only in a downstream lifecycle model with separately declared data and assumptions.

The one-kilogram reference flow is intended for production inventory and supplier-data exchange. It is not a per-wear service comparison and shall not be used to compare garment durability or consumer performance without a separate functional-equivalence study.
