1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to net conforming meat of sheep supplied in a frozen state at the processing-facility gate under CPC 3.0 subclass 21135. Covered commercial forms include frozen sheep carcasses, sides and declared cuts, bone-in or boneless, provided that the reference product remains unprepared frozen sheep meat.

The foreground boundary begins with live sheep accepted at the slaughter facility and includes receiving and lairage; slaughter, bleeding, skinning and evisceration; carcass dressing and cutting; pre-chilling and freezing; packaging, on-site frozen storage and release; cleaning and disinfection; and on-site wastewater treatment when performed. Sheep farming and inbound transport to the facility are upstream. Retail, distribution after the facility gate, thawing, cooking or other use, and product or packaging end-of-life are downstream.

Fresh or chilled sheep meat, goat meat, meat from other species, edible offal as the declared reference product, cooked, seasoned or otherwise prepared meat, and packaging mass are excluded from the reference product. Edible organs may cross the foreground boundary only as separately measured co-products and never as CPC 21135 reference output.

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_foreground_start`	Facility-gate receipt	Begin foreground collection at accepted live-sheep receipt; model farming and inbound transport in upstream datasets rather than duplicating them in slaughter operations.	un-cpc-3-0, ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`boundary_required_operations`	Slaughter and frozen-meat manufacture	Include receiving, slaughter, carcass dressing, cutting, pre-chilling, freezing, packaging, on-site frozen storage, cleaning and release; include on-site wastewater treatment when performed.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`boundary_downstream_exclusion`	Facility-gate output	Exclude distribution after the facility gate, retail, thawing, cooking or other use, and end-of-life unless the declared study explicitly expands the downstream boundary.	un-cpc-3-0, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`boundary_product_scope`	Reference product	Keep fresh or chilled sheep meat, edible offal as reference product, other species and prepared meat outside CPC 21135.	un-cpc-3-0
`boundary_complete_lci`	Included foreground processes	Record all known material, energy and water inputs and every product, co-product, emission and waste output for each included process.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef

Allocation rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoid_by_subdivision`	Multi-output slaughter and cutting	First subdivide receiving, slaughter, dressing, freezing, packaging, sanitation and wastewater treatment using meters, batch records and transfer measurements so directly attributable burdens require no allocation.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`allocation_product_status`	Blood, sheepskin, edible organs, fat and bones	Treat a stream as a co-product only when it has documented product status and a beneficial destination; otherwise keep its treatment burden as waste.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`allocation_residual_shared_burdens`	Saleable meat and co-products	After subdivision, allocate only residual shared burdens using the governing study method; document the physical or economic relation, factors, reference period and affected processes.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`allocation_waste_no_credit`	Condemned carcass, digestive contents, rejected material, wastewater, sludge and packaging waste	Do not assign avoided-product credit solely because a waste stream has incidental revenue; disclose downstream treatment and any separately justified recovery model.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`allocation_consistency_and_sensitivity`	Foreground and upstream datasets	Preserve disclosed upstream allocation, apply one consistent foreground method during the reference period and test a material alternative when the allocation choice materially changes the reference-product result.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef

Validation rules · 13

`validation_inventory_coverage`	Foreground inventory	Verify separate cards for live sheep, stage water and each energy carrier, each refrigerant make-up and emission, each cleaner and disinfectant, each packaging product and packaging waste, each product or co-product, each waste stream and each direct air or water emission actually present.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_mass_balance`	Foreground processes	Report process and reporting-period mass-balance residuals with measurement uncertainty and investigate material residuals; do not fabricate closure.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_frozen_state`	Reference product	Demonstrate the declared frozen state and preserve lot-linked pre-chilling, freezing, frozen-storage duration, condition and release evidence; no default temperature or duration may be inferred.	un-cpc-3-0, ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024
`validation_no_utility_double_counting`	Utilities	Verify that purchased steam and fuels, purchased hot water and its upstream heat supply, fresh and reused water, and shared utility allocations are each counted once.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_refrigerants`	Refrigeration	Reconcile each refrigerant substance independently; a make-up product flow and its corresponding unrecovered air emission shall not be merged or duplicated.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_wastewater`	Wastewater and on-site treatment	Keep ordinary and high-organic-load wastewater distinct, reconcile influent, effluent and sludge, and calculate each reported water emission from matched flow and concentration records.	ec-jrc-sa-bref-2024, eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_allocation`	Co-products and shared operations	Subdivide directly attributable burdens before allocation; residual allocation factors shall sum to one and the method, period, product status and material sensitivity result shall be disclosed.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_collection_links`	Collected and calculated rows	Every collected or calculated row shall reference an implemented collection protocol; every calculation shall identify its rule or reproducible worksheet.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
`validation_data_quality_and_transparency`	Published data package	Disclose company-specific data coverage, sources, transformations, proxies, gaps, cut-offs, uncertainty, allocation, data quality and reviewer findings.	eu-recommendation-2021-2279-pef
