Pineapples, otherwise prepared or preserved

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to foreground production of pineapple products classified as CPC 3.0 subclass 21491 after preparation or preservation. It covers packaged or bulk products made from pineapple by formulation and one declared primary preservation route, including frozen, aseptic or hot-filled, chemically or osmotically preserved, and hermetically sealed thermally processed products. Canned pineapple is one route within this broader category and does not define the whole category.

The foreground boundary begins with pineapple, ingredients, primary packaging, and other purchased inputs received at the preparation facility and ends with the net preserved pineapple product packed or otherwise ready to leave the producing facility. Pineapple cultivation, production of purchased ingredients and packaging, external utilities, distribution, retail, consumer use, and end-of-life remain outside the foreground boundary and require linked upstream or downstream datasets when included in the study. Fresh pineapple, pineapple juice declared as the product, and products assigned to another classification leaf are outside this PCR.

covered_products	Pineapple pieces, slices, chunks, crushed product, pulp, or other declared physical forms preserved by one primary route; products may be packed with or without a declared packing medium and may be sold in retail or bulk formats.
excluded_products	Fresh pineapple; pineapple juice declared as the reference product; products classified by the practitioner outside CPC 3.0 subclass 21491; mixed-fruit products not identified as a pineapple product.
representative_product	Net pineapple product, including declared packing medium but excluding packaging, ready to leave the producing facility after the selected preservation route.
production_route	Pineapple receipt and preparation; formulation and filling; exactly one declared primary preservation route (sealed_container_thermal, freezing, or other_validated_preservation); final packing and dispatch preparation.
market_state	Ambient-stable, frozen, or otherwise preserved state in retail or bulk packaging, with temperature state, physical form, packing medium, and primary package declared.

3. Reference Flow

Field	Value
What	Net pineapples, otherwise prepared or preserved, ready to leave the producing facility.
How much	1 kg net product, excluding all packaging and including any packing medium sold with the product.
How well	Conforming product of the declared physical form, formulation, packing medium, preservation route, and market temperature state; route-specific specification or conformity status is disclosed.
How long or cycle	One completed production lot at the facility gate; no service duration is assigned.
reference_flow_link	The functional unit is realized by the single Tiangong product flow and reference amount below.

Field	Value
Reference amount	1 kg net product
Reference product flow	Pineapples, otherwise prepared or preserved 5787a516-5769-4072-a5fc-2ef53e8ba7e4
Reference flow property	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66
Reference unit group	Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66
Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	primary preservation route; physical form; pineapple cultivar or declared material specification where material; packing medium or formulation; net-content basis; drained pineapple mass or solids content when applicable; primary packaging format; ambient, chilled, or frozen market state; facility geography; production period

When constructing a foreground data package, every required qualifier must be recorded in dataset metadata, process notes, the reference-flow comment, the product description, or an equivalent data-package field. A liquid-packing-medium product remains normalized to total net product mass; its drained pineapple mass or solids content is an additional required qualifier rather than an alternative reference amount.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
calc_reference_normalization	all inventory rows	normalized row amount = period amount assigned to the declared product and route / conforming net product mass leaving final packing; preserve the row's original unit.	assigned period amount; conforming net product mass	amount per 1 kg net preserved pineapple output
calc_process_mass_balance	each foreground process	mass-balance difference = mass inputs + opening stock - mass products - mass co-products - mass wastes - wastewater - closing stock; investigate and disclose material unexplained differences without forcing the balance to zero.	wet-mass records by stream; stock changes	process mass-balance difference and completeness check
calc_packaging_mass	packaging inputs	packaging mass = issued component count × verified mass per component, adjusted for documented returned or unused components.	component count; component mass; returns	kg packaging by material
calc_energy_conversion	fuel, steam, heat, or cooling records	convert the collected carrier quantity to the reported energy unit with the documented carrier-specific factor while retaining the original quantity, unit, and factor reference.	carrier quantity; original unit; conversion factor	MJ or kWh by carrier	eu-pef-2021-2279
calc_wastewater	preparation wastewater	wastewater mass = measured discharge; when no discharge meter exists, calculate from recorded water and liquid inputs minus documented product retention, evaporation, other outputs, and stock change, and flag the result as calculated.	discharge record or water balance fields	kg wastewater

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
dq_identity_and_route	every data package	Match the Tiangong reference-flow UUID and declare all required qualifiers, exactly one primary preservation route, and the product/package scope represented.	dataset metadata; route logs; product specification
dq_temporal_representativeness	foreground activity data	Use one internally consistent production period representing normal operations and material product or seasonal variation; disclose shutdowns, trials, abnormal losses, and justified exclusions.	dated lot, meter, invoice, inventory, and dispatch records; representativeness statement (eu-pef-2021-2279)
dq_mass_and_energy_completeness	each foreground process	Reconcile product, co-product, waste, wastewater, stock change, and separately reported energy carriers; disclose every unexplained material gap and shared-meter allocation.	process balances; meter reconciliation; allocation worksheet
dq_source_quality	linked upstream and factor data	Record source, geography, technology, time period, and substitution or proxy rationale for each material upstream dataset or factor.	data-source register and quality assessment (eu-pef-2021-2279)
dq_reasoned_estimate_replacement	every reasoned_estimate range	Treat the range only as a temporary candidate-stage screening prior; replace it when complete representative foreground records or reviewed source-backed quantitative evidence become available, and do not use it as an asserted measured value.	review log identifying replacement status and retained source or collection records
dq_canned_conformity	sealed_container_thermal products within the canned-fruit standard scope	Retain the applicable product description, style, packing medium, fill or drained-content test records, and conformity evidence required for the declared canned pineapple product.	route-specific specification and test records (codex-cxs-319-2015)
