1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to slaughterhouse-gate production of buffalo meat released fresh or chilled within CPC 3.0 subclass 21112. It covers receiving live buffalo, slaughter and dressing, evisceration and standard cutting, deboning where used, chilling and refrigerated holding, cleaning and disinfection attributable to those operations, conditional on-site wastewater treatment, final inspection, and conditional sale packaging.

The foreground begins with live buffalo accepted at the slaughterhouse gate. Buffalo farming and inbound transport are represented by upstream datasets rather than foreground operations. Retail, food preparation, consumption, and end of life are outside the foreground boundary.

Frozen buffalo meat, edible offal, non-edible offal, hides, blood, fat, bones, and waste are not part of the reference product. Each is recorded separately when produced. Every inventory card represents one atomic exchange, and conditional technologies or materials are recorded only when supported by facility records.

`allocation_waste_status`	waste_and_recovered_outputs	Classify each output as product, waste, or emission from its actual legal and operational destination; revenue or avoided treatment alone does not justify silently changing flow type.	`ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916`, `eu-recommendation-2021-2279`

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_live_animal_gate`	foreground_start	The foreground starts with live buffalo accepted at the slaughterhouse gate plus materials, utilities, chemicals, refrigerant, and packaging crossing an included process boundary.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`boundary_upstream_exclusions`	farming_and_transport	Buffalo farming and inbound transport are outside the foreground boundary and require separately identified upstream datasets; retail, preparation, consumption, and end of life are downstream exclusions.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`boundary_product_state`	cpc_21112_scope	Only buffalo meat released fresh or chilled is the reference product; frozen meat and edible or non-edible offal are excluded from its mass and recorded separately when produced.	unsd-cpc-3-0-21112, ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916
`boundary_conditional_operations`	conditional_technology	Purchased steam, hot water, each fuel, R717 ammonia, treatment chemicals, on-site wastewater treatment, and packaging are included only when the declared facility actually uses them.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`boundary_direct_releases`	air_and_water_emissions	Record direct air or water releases only from monitoring or a verified foreground balance; never infer a release solely because an input is present.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279

Allocation rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_subdivision`	separately_metered_processes	First avoid allocation by subdividing slaughter, cutting, chilling, wastewater treatment, and packaging when their inputs and outputs are separately measured.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`allocation_mass_balance`	all_material_outputs	Reconcile live mass and each process transfer against reference meat, blood, hide, liver, heart, fat, bones, wastes, stock change, moisture change, and measured losses before allocating burdens.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`allocation_co_products`	blood_hide_organs_fat_bones	When subdivision cannot isolate burdens, apply and disclose a product-specific physical causal relation; if no defensible physical relation exists, use documented economic allocation with matching-period prices and sensitivity disclosure.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`allocation_waste_status`	waste_and_recovered_outputs	Classify each output as product, waste, or emission from its actual legal and operational destination; revenue or avoided treatment alone does not justify silently changing flow type.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`allocation_shared_utilities`	shared_meters	Allocate shared utilities using a documented causal driver such as equipment submetering, operating time and rated load, treated volume, or refrigerated mass-time; disclose residual unallocated use.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279

`validate_atomic_flows`	process_inventory	Reject collection labels and combined exchanges; every live-animal input, water stream, stage electricity, steam, hot water, fuel, refrigerant, chemical, packaging material, co-product, waste, and emission must remain separate.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`validate_mass_balance`	slaughter_and_cutting	Require stepwise reconciliation of received live mass, carcass transfers, meat, each co-product, each waste, stock change, moisture change, and rejected product.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279

`validate_wastewater_and_releases`	wastewater	Require process-specific wastewater transfers, matched-period treatment records, and monitored discharge concentration and volume for each water emission.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-jrc135916, eu-recommendation-2021-2279
`validate_uuid_resolution`	tiangong_references	Reject any non-reference UUID lacking both identity confirmation and a public state-100 direct read; unresolved identities remain blank with row-specific manifest metadata.
`validate_translation_alignment`	bilingual_pcr	Require identical ordered process_id, row_id, Selected flow, controlled-token, source-id, boundary-rule, allocation-rule, and validation-rule sequences in English and Chinese.
