1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to foreground production of an extract or juice made from one declared animal species and one declared tissue or processing cut, classified under CPC 3.0 subclass 21185. A conforming data package shall lock exactly one product identity (extract or juice) and exactly one physical and concentration state. It shall not average different species, tissues, product identities, or market states into one reference product.

Covered routes include direct aqueous extraction, thermal extraction, pressing, and enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction followed, as applicable, by clarification, filtration, concentration, cooling, drying, packaging, and storage. The route actually operated shall be disclosed; unused cards are marked not applicable in the completed data package and are not assigned zero by assumption. When an actual species, tissue, ingredient, filtration medium, package component, co-product, waste, or emission is not represented by a card below, the producer shall add one new atomic row with one exact exchange identity before recording it.

The PCR excludes soups, bouillons, consommés, sauces, whole or cut meat and aquatic products, rendered animal fats, fish oil sold as the principal product, fish meal, gelatine, collagen, isolated amino acids, and products whose declared identity is neither an extract nor a juice. Upstream livestock production, capture fisheries, aquaculture, slaughter, landing, and primary cutting remain background systems represented by supplier-specific or otherwise appropriate upstream datasets.

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_foreground_operations`	foreground system	Include receipt, preparation, extraction or hydrolysis, separation, clarification, applicable concentration or drying, cooling, packaging, storage, cleaning, wastewater management, and on-site energy operations used by the declared lot.	eu-pef-2021-2279, fao-fishmeal-process, codex-cxs-117-1981
`boundary_upstream_links`	purchased inputs	Represent upstream animal production or capture, primary processing, utilities, chemicals, filtration media, refrigerants, and packaging through linked datasets rather than silently omitting them.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_route_lock`	reference product	Model one exact species, tissue, extract-or-juice identity, route, physical state, and concentration state; aggregation across those choices is prohibited.	un-cpc-3.0-21185, codex-cxs-117-1981, fao-fisheries-paper-540
`boundary_nonoperated_upstream_exclusion`	non-operated upstream processes	Do not import slaughter, rendering, fishmeal, oil production, or other upstream operations into the foreground unless the facility actually performs them for the declared product.	jrc-sa-bref-2024
`boundary_complete_lci`	all exchanges	Inventory raw materials, energy, water, product and co-product outputs, wastes, and emissions to air and water without substituting a collection label for an exchange.	eu-pef-2021-2279, jrc-sa-bref-2024

Allocation rules · 7

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_subdivision_first`	shared production	Subdivide by species, tissue, product identity, route, and production lot wherever meters and records permit; never allocate a mixed campaign before segregated records have been exhausted.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_direct_assignment`	dedicated operations	Assign feedstock, ingredients, filtration media, packaging, waste, and directly metered utilities to the product that caused them.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_physical_relation`	inseparable shared operations	For a remaining shared operation, use a documented causal physical relation such as measured throughput, evaporated water, solids processed, or useful heat demand.	eu-pef-2021-2279, fao-fishmeal-process
`allocation_economic_fallback`	multifunctional outputs	Use economic allocation only when subdivision and a defensible causal physical relation are unavailable; use contemporaneous prices, disclose the period and currency, and test sensitivity.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_coproduct_classification`	separated fat, oil, shell, or other fraction	Treat a separated fraction as a co-product only when it meets a declared specification and leaves the facility for an evidenced beneficial use; otherwise record the exact stream as waste.	jrc-sa-bref-2024
`allocation_no_avoided_burden`	recycling or recovery	Do not subtract an avoided product burden inside the foreground inventory; any substitution credit belongs to an explicitly declared downstream scenario.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_no_double_counting`	purchased and on-site utilities	A user process shall consume either a purchased carrier or an internally generated carrier for the same metered delivery; do not count both as external input.	eu-pef-2021-2279

Validation rules · 10

`validation_process_applicability`	process map	Every required process has foreground records; each conditional process is either evidenced as operated or explicitly not applicable with a route explanation.	eu-pef-2021-2279
`validation_atomic_rows`	process inventory	Reject a collection or selector row; each actual exchange is represented by one concrete flow card and every actual unlisted exchange is added as a new atomic row.	eu-pef-2021-2279

`validation_inventory_completeness`	LCI	Confirm raw feedstock, utilities, water, ingredients, filtration media, packaging, co-products, wastes, wastewater pollutants, refrigerant losses, and direct air emissions for the operated route.	eu-pef-2021-2279, jrc-sa-bref-2024
`validation_mass_solids_balance`	mass balance	Wet-mass and dry-matter balances shall reconcile feedstock, product, separated fractions, waste, inventory changes, and water removal; every residual is quantified and explained.	fao-fishmeal-process, fao-fisheries-paper-540
`validation_quantity_provenance`	inventory amounts	Every non-fixed value shall link to a foreground collection protocol or a calculation using collected records; unsupported defaults, ranges, and reasoned estimates are prohibited.	eu-pef-2021-2279
