allocation_subdivision	shared operations	First subdivide lines, rooms, meters and batch records to the locked route and finished-product specification wherever technically feasible.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_causal	shared utilities	When subdivision is infeasible, use a documented physical causal driver for each shared utility or treatment operation and reconcile allocated values to the measured total.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_coproduct_identity	trimmings and recovered fat	Classify food-grade bovine trimmings or recovered bovine fat as co-products only when a documented beneficial destination and positive product function exist; otherwise retain the exact waste flow.	eu-pef-2021-2279; jrc-sa-bref-2024
allocation_joint_process	joint co-products	If a joint process remains after subdivision and causal modelling, apply calc_allocation_factor with a justified physical driver; use an economic driver only when no defensible physical relation exists. Disclose values, period and sensitivity.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_no_hidden_credit	waste and recovery	Do not subtract an avoided burden or hide a recovery credit in a foreground amount. Model substitution, recycling or treatment consequences as explicit downstream scenarios outside this attributional foreground inventory.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_mass_balance	all stages	Reconcile input meat, ingredients and water with conforming product, co-products, waste, wastewater and calculated evaporation for every locked batch; investigate and disclose residuals.	eu-pef-2021-2279; fao-dried-salted-meats-1985; fao-meat-preservation-manual-1990

dq_completeness	all processes	Reconcile ingredients, utilities, product, co-products, packaging, waste, wastewater and direct emissions for every active process.	Process checklist and mass or energy reconciliation.
dq_temporal_alignment	campaign data	Align recipes, product mass, meters, maintenance, waste and samples to one representative campaign; disclose shutdowns and abnormal batches.	Timestamped records and inclusion log.
dq_representativeness	all data	Assess technological, geographical and temporal representativeness and document material gaps or proxies.	Data-quality assessment and source metadata.
dq_calculation_traceability	calculated values	Retain raw inputs, formula version, units, conversion factors, source provenance and reviewer check for every calculation.	Reproducible calculation and review record.

9. Validation Rules
