Other vegetables and pulses, preserved other than by vinegar, acetic acid or sugar, n.e.c.

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers CPC 3.0 class 21399. It applies to vegetables and pulses prepared or preserved by thermal processing in a hermetically sealed package, concentration, drying, non-vinegar fermentation or brining, or further processing followed by freezing, provided vinegar, acetic acid, or sugar is not the principal preservative. The concrete dataset shall identify one vegetable or pulse, one preservation route, and one saleable product state.

Examples within scope include preserved tomatoes and tomato puree, paste or powder; thermally processed sweet corn, carrots, cabbage, chickpeas, bamboo shoots, garlic, lentils, onions, peppers or spinach; table olives preserved by brining, fermentation, alkali treatment or sterilization; kimchi preserved by salting and lactic fermentation; and beans or peas that are both prepared or preserved and frozen. This PCR does not cover merely frozen vegetables, provisionally preserved vegetables, products principally preserved by vinegar or acetic acid, sugar-preserved products, homogenized preparations, potatoes, mushrooms or truffles, or non-frozen preserved beans and peas assigned to their own CPC classes. The official CPC explanatory note controls classification where an example and the exclusion list appear to overlap. [unsd-cpc-v3-21399-2025]

The rules are cradle-to-factory-gate rules for a foreground data package. Agricultural production, ingredient production, packaging-material production, energy supply, transport and off-site treatment remain upstream or downstream linked datasets unless operated inside the reporting organization. Distribution, retail, consumer preparation, use and end-of-life are outside the declared boundary.

Field	Value
Reference amount	1 kg net product content
Reference product flow	Other vegetables and pulses, preserved other than by vinegar, acetic acid or sugar, n.e.c.
Reference flow property	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66
Reference unit group	Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in Required qualifiers must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
mass-net-product	Reference product	Mass	kg	Determine net product content by calibrated filling or check-weighing records. Declare whether packing medium is included and use the same basis for all normalized exchanges.
mass-material	Vegetables, ingredients, packaging, wastes, sludge and mass emissions	Mass	kg	Use receiving, dispensing, packaging-line, waste-haul or laboratory records; do not infer one atomic material by subtracting an aggregated mixture.
water-volume	Process, cleaning, cooling and wastewater	Volume	m3	Use submetered volume or a documented engineering balance; keep incoming water, recirculated water and discharged wastewater distinct.
electricity-energy	Purchased and generated electricity	Energy	kWh	Use revenue or calibrated submeter readings; subtract documented exports and allocate shared meters only under Section 7.
thermal-energy	Purchased heat and steam	Energy	MJ	Measure delivered useful energy; if only steam mass is available, calculate energy from measured pressure, temperature, condensate return and enthalpy.
fuel-energy	Natural gas and other fuels	Energy	MJ LHV	Record each fuel separately and convert the measured purchase unit using supplier lower-heating-value evidence for the reporting period.
concentration	Tomato concentrate or packing medium	Mass fraction	kg/kg	Use laboratory solids or formulation records and state the analytical basis; do not convert puree, paste and powder using an assumed generic solids value.
refrigeration-loss	Each refrigerant	Mass	kg	Use refrigerant-specific additions, recovery and inventory reconciliation; report each chemical as a separate direct elementary flow.

Do not substitute a universal time-temperature schedule. Record the product-, fill-, container- and retort-specific scheduled process and its validation evidence. The quick-frozen route shall reach and maintain the applicable product temperature condition, including the Codex -18 °C thermal-centre criterion where that standard applies, but this conformance value is not an inventory amount range.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

Build separate unit processes and meter route-specific operations wherever practicable. Avoid allocation by directly weighing product, ingredients, packaging, wastes and route utilities. For a shared operation, first subdivide by line, batch, preservation route or time period. If subdivision is not feasible, apply system expansion only when a documented substituted function and market are defensible; otherwise allocate using a measured physical relationship that represents the driver of consumption or loss, such as equipment time, useful steam, refrigeration load, wastewater volume or net product mass. Economic allocation is a last resort and shall use a representative price period with sensitivity analysis. [eu-pef-2021-2279, iso-14044-2006]

Saleable tomato skins, seeds, vegetable residues, recovered brine ingredients, recovered packaging material, energy exports or sludge are co-products only when they meet a product specification and leave for a documented beneficial use. Otherwise they remain waste flows with the receiving treatment linked. Do not assign avoided burdens to waste recycling or energy recovery inside the foreground inventory unless the declared LCA method explicitly requires it; disclose the chosen recycling and end-of-life convention.
