Rape, colza and mustard oil, crude

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for crude oil obtained from rape/rapeseed, colza, or mustard seed at the oil-mill or extraction-plant gate. It covers seed receiving and preparation, mechanical pressing and/or solvent extraction when used, crude-oil separation and desolventizing, route-relevant clarification or degumming before dispatch, co-product handling, and bulk storage up to the declared plant-gate output.

The PCR applies to crude oil that has not undergone the refining sequence that produces refined edible oil. Refining operations such as alkali neutralisation, bleaching, deodorisation, winterisation, fractionation, hydrogenation, interesterification, retail filling, distribution, use, and end-of-life are excluded. Seed cultivation and transport to the oil mill are represented by upstream datasets rather than by the foreground oil-mill inventory. Virgin or cold-pressed claims may be modelled only when the declared route and records demonstrate the applicable mechanical-processing conditions; this PCR does not create such a claim.

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

validate_mass_balance	Seed preparation, extraction, and storage	Require linked internal transfers and a disclosed mass balance across seed, crude oil, co-products, wastes, moisture change, and stocks. Unexplained imbalance must be reported and reviewed.	eu-pef-2021-2279
validate_allocation	Multi-output processes	Require allocation hierarchy, basis, period, fractions, co-product list, and fractions summing to 1.000 within rounding tolerance; reject soybean-meal or other semantically mismatched proxy identities.	eu-pef-2021-2279; ilcd-format-1-1-process
validate_qualifiers	Dataset metadata	Require all reference-flow qualifiers, site/geography, reporting period, source ids, measurement basis, and unresolved UUID declarations before publication.	ilcd-format-1-1-process

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	Foreground data package for crude rape/colza/mustard oil production, publishable after review as a secondary_dataset and, when representative, as a background_dataset
downstream_use	Process and lifecyclemodel construction for products consuming qualifying crude oil before downstream refining or conversion
allowed_use	Site-specific or declared production-mix cradle-to-plant-gate modelling when product identity, route, boundary, allocation, geography, and period match the study
excluded_use	Refined-oil reference product; retail cooking oil; biodiesel or chemical conversion; comparative assertion without compatible reviewed scope; extrapolation to an undeclared seed type or extraction route
required_metadata	PCR id; product flow UUID; seed types and shares; extraction route; solvent identity when applicable; clarification/degumming state; mass basis; geography; sites; reporting period; allocation method; co-products; upstream seed datasets; data sources
required_quality_disclosure	Measurement coverage; meter and scale calibration; stock reconciliation; seed and oil mass balance; solvent balance where applicable; shared-utility allocation; missing flows; cut-offs; uncertainty; representativeness; unresolved UUIDs
update_trigger	Material change in product identity, flow UUID, feedstock mix, extraction technology, solvent, boundary, allocation method, site coverage, reporting period, quality specification, or external method/source requirements
