Waterproof footwear with rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, without a protective metal toe-cap

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to factory-gate production of waterproof footwear whose outer sole and upper are rubber or plastics and that does not incorporate a protective metal toe-cap. It covers integral moulded footwear and separately formed waterproof uppers and soles, including declared linings, sealing systems, finishes, and sales packaging. It excludes protective-metal-toe footwear, non-waterproof footwear, products outside the declared upper/sole materials, and downstream distribution, use, repair, and end-of-life.

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	Measure net mass after final conditioning and acceptance but before packaging; normalize all exchanges to exactly 1 kg reference output.
count_to_mass	pair or unit records	Mass and count	kg and pair or unit	Convert counts with product- and size-specific measured mass; retain sampling, scale calibration, size weighting, and calculation evidence.
material_mass	materials, chemicals, components, packaging, products, and solid wastes	Mass	kg	Use calibrated batch, warehouse, scale, or specification records; keep individual materials and waste streams separate.
utility_measurement	electricity, steam, natural gas, compressed air, and water	Energy, mass, or volume	kWh, MJ, kg, or m3	Prefer sub-metering; otherwise allocate a complete reporting-period total using Section 7.
conditioning_basis	product, lining, and compound mass	Mass	kg	Declare conditioning and moisture basis; do not mix wet, conditioned, and dry masses without a documented conversion.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Declare whether each material enters as an individual compound ingredient, ready-to-form compound, granulate, formed upper or sole, integral shell, lining, or another named component.
starting_condition_role	Fixes the first foreground transformation and prevents double counting of supplier operations.
product_classification_scope	Finished waterproof footwear in the reviewed semantic scope corresponding exactly to CPC 3.0 code 29310.
recursive_input_rule	If finished footwear in the same category enters, record one supplier product input and its supplier dataset; do not recursively unpack it into the same foreground processes.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Use traceable upstream datasets for purchased materials, components, utilities, packaging, transport, and waste treatment. Finished leather lining requires supplier data covering tanning; do not add tanning to the footwear foreground unless the site performs it.
disclosure	Declare starting condition, routes, supplier-embedded operations, waterproof test, rework, waste destinations, allocation, upstream datasets, exclusions, and data gaps.

boundary_rule_2	product scope	Require rubber or plastic outer soles and uppers, declared waterproof performance, and no protective metal toe-cap.	un-cpc-3-0

boundary_rule_4	conditional leather input	A finished-leather lining dataset shall cover relevant tanning chemistry, energy, water, waste, and emissions; tanning is not a mandatory footwear foreground process.	jrc-tanning-bref
boundary_rule_5	completeness	Record all applicable raw materials, energy, products, wastes, and direct releases to air and water; unresolved UUIDs do not justify omission.	ec-pef-method-2021
boundary_rule_6	downstream stages	Exclude distribution, retail, use, repair, and end-of-life unless a downstream lifecyclemodel adds them without double counting.	ec-pef-method-2021; af-pefcr-3-1-2025

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_rule_1	all foreground processes	Avoid allocation by separately metering and subdividing compounding, forming, assembly, finishing, and packaging.	ec-pef-method-2021
allocation_rule_2	materials and wastes	Assign batch-specific materials, rejects, rework, and material-specific scrap directly to the product route that caused them.	af-pefcr-3-1-2025
allocation_rule_3	shared utilities	Allocate unresolved totals with a physical driver such as metered share or machine time multiplied by verified load; disclose driver and shares.	ec-pef-method-2021; af-pefcr-3-1-2025
allocation_rule_4	sizes and styles	Convert counts to measured mass by style and size, then production-weight inventory; do not use unweighted counts when unit masses differ materially.	af-pefcr-3-1-2025
allocation_rule_5	internal reuse and recycling	Keep gross input, recovered material, internal reuse, exported waste, and final output visible; do not apply an avoided-burden credit unless a downstream model explicitly requires it.	ec-pef-method-2021
