Saddlery and harness, for any animal, of any material

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to factory-gate production of saddles, bridles, reins, halters, collars, traces, draft harnesses and comparable animal tack whose primary function is riding support, animal control, restraint or load transfer. It covers leather, coated-textile, synthetic-sheet, webbing and mixed-material constructions.

The foreground starts when finished leather, synthetic materials, webbing, padding, hardware, thread, adhesives, coatings and packaging are received. It includes material preparation, cutting, sewing, hardware assembly, on-site edge or surface finishing when performed, drying, inspection and packaging. Upstream manufacture of leather, polymers, textiles, metals and chemicals is represented by linked supplier-specific or secondary datasets rather than being recreated inside the assembly facility.

Excluded products are luggage and handbags, human belts or protective equipment, veterinary medical devices, animal clothing unrelated to riding/control/load transfer, and sporting articles that are not animal tack. Distribution, retail, use, animal care, repair and end-of-life are outside this factory-gate rule.

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	Determine net mass after final inspection and before packaging; normalize every exchange to exactly 1 kg.
material_mass	materials, hardware, chemicals, packaging and solid/liquid wastes	Mass	kg	Use calibrated weighing, invoices corrected by stock change, or documented batch reconciliation; keep each material and waste separate.
electricity_energy	each process electricity input	Energy	kWh	Use submetered consumption where available; otherwise allocate a reconciled facility meter using documented machine time and rated load.
fuel_energy	natural gas used for on-site drying	Energy	MJ	Convert metered gas to energy with the supplier calorific value for the reporting period and retain the source record.
compressed_air_volume	compressed air input	Volume	m3	State pressure and measurement condition; do not report compressor electricity again if compressed air is modelled as a purchased product input.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

starting_condition_role	cradle-to-gate upstream datasets terminate at each purchased input; this PCR foreground models conversion and assembly
product_classification_scope	CPC 3.0 subclass 29210
recursive_input_rule	A purchased or transferred item already classified in CPC 29210 remains a visible product input and is linked to its own upstream dataset; do not recursively reconstruct it in this foreground
upstream_dataset_requirement	Match material, technology, geography and period; for leather inputs disclose species, tanning system, thickness and finish, and use tanning-background data only upstream unless tanning occurs on site
disclosure	Declare included routes, excluded conditional operations, facility boundary, reporting period, allocation and all unresolved upstream proxies

boundary_upstream_leather	leather route	Keep hide preparation and tanning upstream unless physically performed at the reporting facility; disclose the linked leather dataset and its tanning chemistry.	eu-tanning-bref
boundary_no_cutoff	foreground exchanges	Do not omit a known foreground material, utility, packaging component, waste or emission because it is small; record it or document a justified not-applicable determination.	eu-pef-2021-2279
boundary_exclude_downstream	factory-gate result	Exclude distribution, retail, use, animal care, maintenance, repair and end-of-life from this dataset.	eu-pef-2021-2279
