1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers factory-gate production of market-ready pig meat cuts preserved by salting, drying, or smoking, including bacon and ham. The foreground boundary begins when chilled or frozen pig meat cuts are received and ends after packaging and declared refrigerated storage. It covers trimming; exactly one declared curing method (dry_cure, brine_injection, or brine_immersion); route-dependent tumbling, cooking, smoking, drying or ripening, and slicing; cooling or chilling; packaging; refrigeration; sanitation; and on-site wastewater treatment when present.

The PCR excludes pig rearing, slaughter and primary carcass cutting before receipt; sausages, comminuted meat, complete meals, canned meat, and products preserved by methods outside the CPC 21181 boundary; distribution beyond the factory gate; retail, consumer cooking, and end-of-life. A cooked-ham route is included only when the product remains a salted, dried, or smoked pig cut within this category. Every data package shall declare one real production route; mutually exclusive curing routes and optional preservation operations shall not be stacked into a synthetic default route.

System boundary rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`boundary_received_cuts`	foreground_start	Start at documented receipt of pig meat cuts; exclude animal production, slaughter, and primary cutting but link their upstream datasets.	unsd-cpc-3-0, eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_route_exclusivity`	curing_and_preservation_route	Declare exactly one curing method. Cooking applies only to cooked ham, smoking only to smoked product, drying or ripening only to dried product, and slicing only to sliced product.	usda-fsis-bacon-food-safety, usda-fsis-hams-food-safety, usda-fsis-rte-salt-cured-dried-2023
`boundary_support_operations`	foreground_support	Include allocated facility utilities, sanitation, refrigeration, packaging, wastewater handling, and on-site treatment needed by the declared batch.	eu-jrc-fdm-bref-2019, eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`boundary_no_route_averaging`	dataset_representativeness	Do not average mutually exclusive dry-cure, injection, immersion, cooked, smoked, or dried routes into one default inventory unless a production-weighted market-average dataset explicitly reports the route shares.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279

Allocation rules · 4

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_avoid_by_subdivision`	all_shared_operations	First subdivide route-specific processing and directly metered utilities, sanitation, refrigeration, packaging, waste, and emissions. Do not allocate excluded or non-applicable routes to the reference product.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_physical_driver`	shared_facility_inputs	When subdivision is not possible, allocate shared electricity, steam, heat, natural gas, water, sanitation, and storage using a documented physical driver that reflects causality, such as submetered operating time, equipment load, product mass-time, or occupied refrigerated volume-time.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_trimming_coproducts`	edible_pork_fat_trimmings_and_edible_pork_skin_trimmings	Keep saleable edible fat and skin as separate co-product outputs. Prefer process subdivision; if residual burdens remain, document the physical relationship or other justified allocation basis and disclose factors. Do not treat saleable co-products as zero-burden waste.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`allocation_rework_and_rejects`	off_specification_product	Return rework to the originating process without creating avoided product; track repeated inputs and losses. Assign treatment burdens and credits only to the documented final destination of rejected material.	fao-who-codex-cxc-58-2005, eu-commission-pef-2021-2279

Validation rules · 7

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`validate_reference_identity`	reference_flow	Confirm 1 kg net reference product, Mass UUID, Units of mass UUID, kg, and all required qualifiers; fail if a narrower bacon-only, ham-only, or broader processed-meat UUID is substituted for unresolved CPC 21181 identity.	unsd-cpc-3-0
`validate_route_exclusivity`	process_map	Require exactly one of dry_cure, brine_injection, or brine_immersion. Reject cooking outside cooked ham, smoking outside a smoked route, drying or ripening outside a dried route, or slicing outside a sliced product route.	usda-fsis-bacon-food-safety, usda-fsis-hams-food-safety, usda-fsis-rte-salt-cured-dried-2023
`validate_atomic_inventory`	process_inventory	Reject any combined ingredient, energy-carrier, fuel, refrigerant, packaging, waste, wastewater, sludge, or emission collection row; every selected flow must resolve to one Tiangong flow before publication.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`validate_recipe_completeness`	curing	Match every declared recipe ingredient to one input row and active mass record, including salt, nitrite, nitrate, sugar, each spice, ascorbate, phosphate, and any additional ingredient.	usda-fsis-bacon-food-safety, usda-fsis-hams-food-safety, fao-who-codex-cxc-58-2005
`validate_smoke_inventory`	smoking	For natural-smoke routes require smoke-material identity and assess PM2.5, carbon monoxide, acrolein, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, acetic acid, nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and benzo[a]pyrene individually; record measurement, calculation, not-applicable basis, or disclosed data gap for each.	us-epa-ap42-meat-smokehouses-1995, fao-who-codex-cxc-68-2009
`validate_mass_balance`	each_material_process	Check batch and annual mass-balance residuals and trace all co-products, purge, drip, rejects, wastewater, sludge, and packaging waste to destinations.	mass-balance-identity, eu-commission-pef-2021-2279
`validate_data_quality`	foreground_dataset	Verify route, technological, geographical, and temporal representativeness; calibrated measurement; documented allocation; source applicability; and separation of foreground records from external evidence.	eu-commission-pef-2021-2279, fao-who-codex-cxc-58-2005
