1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data production for frozen meat of horses and other equines within CPC 3.0 subclass 21138. It covers net conforming frozen meat released from the reporting facility and excludes fresh or chilled equine meat and edible offal as reference products. The category boundary follows un-cpc-3-0; the process structure follows ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024; foreground inventory completeness, allocation, data quality, transparency, and verification rules follow eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef.

The reference quantity is 1 kg net frozen product. Equine raising and inbound transport are upstream of the foreground boundary. Outbound distribution, retail, thawing, cooking, use, and end of life are downstream. No source-derived default amount or author-estimated range is provided.

Fine particulate emission crosses from packaging, frozen storage, and release equipment to air as one separately reported elementary exchange.

Selected flow: Particulate matter, <2.5 um, to air
Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
Amount rule: Calculate from collected stage fuel records and the dataset's disclosed measurement or emission-factor basis; assign no PCR default.
Value mode: Calculated value (calculated_value)
Specificity: Site-specific (site_specific)
Normalization basis: per 1 kg net reference product
Basis kind: Reference flow (reference_flow)
Evidence kind: Calculated from collection (calculated_from_collection)

System boundary rules · 7

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`sb_foreground_gate_to_gate`	foreground_system_boundary	Begin at receipt of live equine animals at the slaughter-facility gate and end at release of 1 kg net conforming frozen equine meat from frozen storage; include reception, slaughter, dressing, cutting, prechilling, freezing, packaging, frozen storage, sanitation, and conditional on-site wastewater treatment.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`sb_upstream_exclusions`	upstream_boundary	Equine raising and inbound transport remain outside the foreground boundary; a cradle-to-gate study links transparent upstream datasets without folding those activities into these foreground process records.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`sb_downstream_exclusions`	downstream_boundary	Outbound distribution, retail, thawing, cooking, use, and end-of-life activities remain outside the foreground boundary.	un-cpc-3-0, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`sb_product_scope`	product_classification_scope	The reference product is CPC 3.0 subclass 21138 frozen meat of horses and other equines; fresh or chilled equine meat and edible offal are excluded as reference products.	un-cpc-3-0
`sb_same_category_recursion`	recursive_product_input	If a frozen equine meat input within this same category enters the foreground system, record it once as an explicit product input and link its upstream dataset; do not recursively reapply this PCR to that input inside the same foreground boundary.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`sb_inventory_completeness`	foreground_inventory	Collect every known raw-material, utility, product, co-product, waste, and elementary exchange for each included process; retain electricity, steam, hot water, each fuel, each refrigerant, each chemical, each packaging material, each waste, and each emission as separate records.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`sb_conditional_treatment`	onsite_wastewater_treatment	Include on-site wastewater treatment only when operated by the reporting facility for in-scope wastewater; otherwise keep each wastewater stream as a transfer leaving the foreground system and disclose its destination.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef

Allocation rules · 6

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`alloc_subdivision_first`	separable_processes	Avoid allocation first by subdividing metered operations and directly assigning stage utilities, packaging, chemicals, wastes, and emissions to the process output that causes them.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`alloc_product_waste_status`	all_non_reference_outputs	Classify every blood, hide, organ, fat, bone, trimming, condemned-material, digestive-content, sludge, screening, and packaging output as a product, co-product, or waste from documented legal, technical, and destination evidence; do not infer saleable status.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`alloc_physical_relation`	joint_products	When subdivision cannot avoid burden sharing and a causal physical relation can be demonstrated, allocate the residual burden with that documented physical relation and report the driver values.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`alloc_economic_fallback`	joint_products	When no defensible physical relation exists, use a documented economic relation for the same representative period and disclose prices, currency, geography, period, and sensitivity; this PCR supplies no default shares.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`alloc_waste_no_credit`	waste_outputs	Assign no co-product credit to a waste output unless the foreground record demonstrates recovered product status and a receiving product use; preserve treatment burdens and destination records otherwise.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`alloc_reference_consistency`	reference_product	Normalize only after applying one consistently documented allocation method across the reporting period, and reconcile allocated burdens to the unallocated foreground total.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef

Validation rules · 15

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`val_identity`	reference_flow	The sole reference flow UUID shall be b1d61fc0-90f2-4ef0-959b-b62596caca1a, public state 100, version 01.01.000, Product, exact CPC 21138, Mass property 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66, Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66, and kg.	un-cpc-3-0
`val_reference_mass`	reference_quantity	The quantitative reference shall equal exactly 1 kg net conforming frozen product, and every packaging-component mass shall be excluded from that net mass.	un-cpc-3-0, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_scope_state`	product_scope	Dataset metadata shall identify frozen equine meat and shall not present fresh or chilled meat or edible offal as the reference product.	un-cpc-3-0
`val_process_coverage`	process_map	All six required processes shall contain records; on-site wastewater treatment shall be present when its inclusion condition is met and explicitly marked not applicable with evidence otherwise.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_atomic_inventory`	process_inventory	Every inventory card shall contain one named atomic exchange; no utility, refrigerant, chemical, packaging, waste, or emission selector may replace a flow identity.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_uuid_integrity`	inventory_flow_identity	Only the verified reference UUID may be populated from the supplied evidence; every non-reference UUID remains blank until hybrid discovery and public state-100 direct read independently confirm exact semantics, type, property, unit group, and unit, with unresolved row metadata updated together.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_value_mode`	inventory_amounts	The reference output alone uses fixed_value; measured records use foreground_record, derived balances use calculated_value, and no author-estimated range or default amount is permitted.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_card_completeness`	process_inventory	Every card shall have a non-empty description, selected flow, property and unit, amount rule, controlled value mode, specificity, basis, basis kind, evidence kind, collection protocol, and source ids.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_mass_balance`	foreground_mass_flows	Reception, slaughter, cutting, freezing, packaging, and wastewater volume or mass balances shall be reconciled and residuals explained without inserting a default yield.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_stage_energy`	energy_inventory	Electricity, purchased steam, purchased hot water, natural gas, diesel, and LPG shall remain separate by stage, with shared-meter allocation drivers documented.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_refrigerants`	refrigeration_inventory	Make-up and air emission shall be separately balanced for each named refrigerant at freezing and frozen storage; any additional site-used refrigerant requires its own atomic input and emission records before release.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_wastewater`	wastewater_inventory	Each originating wastewater stream, treated wastewater, sludge, screenings, and each water emission shall be separately reconciled to flow and analytical records with destination disclosed.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_allocation`	allocation	Every joint-output burden decision shall follow the declared hierarchy, disclose data and period, preserve waste status evidence, and reconcile allocated totals.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_sources`	evidence	Method claims shall cite only the three declared sources; foreground quantities shall trace to facility records rather than a source-derived default.	un-cpc-3-0, ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`val_bilingual_alignment`	localized_markdown	English and Chinese files shall preserve identical ordered process_id, row_id, direction, flow_type, UUID, controlled amount fields, collection protocol, and source-id sequences.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
