Other woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics (other than terry towelling and narrow fabrics)

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to factory-gate production of woven pile fabrics and chenille fabrics classified as CPC 26830. It covers fabrics of textile materials that remain in the CPC 26830 “other” subclass after excluding the separately classified cotton and man-made-fibre subclasses. The fabric may be delivered greige or after declared pretreatment, dyeing, printing, mechanical finishing, or chemical finishing.

Terry towelling, narrow fabrics, carpets, tufted fabrics, knitted pile fabrics, apparel, made-up articles, and fabrics classified in the cotton or man-made-fibre woven-pile subclasses are excluded. A data package shall declare fibre composition, pile construction, fabric width, mass per unit area, finish state, wet-processing route, production geography, and gate condition.

This candidate PCR specifies foreground records and calculation methods. It provides no default or AI-estimated quantity ranges.

5. System Boundary

The foreground boundary begins with yarns and process materials received at the fabric plant and ends with conforming CPC 26830 fabric after the declared final finishing and inspection step. Upstream production of purchased yarn, electricity, heat, water, and chemicals is linked through background datasets. Wet processing is included only when controlled by the reporting plant or performed by a fixed supplier included in the declared foreground route.

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
dq_identity	every material and waste flow	Use one chemically or physically specific identity per exchange; retain supplier grade, fibre composition, concentration, colour index or CAS where applicable, and destination for waste.	supplier specification, safety data sheet, formulation, receiving record, and waste transfer record
dq_temporal	foreground records	Cover a representative continuous reporting period and all included routes; disclose shutdowns, trials, rework, and seasonal or campaign effects.	meter coverage report, production calendar, and exception log
dq_completeness	each process	Reconcile material, energy, water, wastewater, and waste records at process level; quantify and explain missing records rather than assigning zero.	process balance, meter/invoice reconciliation, and unresolved-data register
dq_measurement	measured quantities	Identify meter or scale, calibration status, reading frequency, unit, conversion factor, and allocation driver.	calibration certificate, raw readings, and calculation workbook
dq_route	product dataset	Match fibre composition, pile construction, finish state, wet-processing route, geography, technology, and packaging boundary to the represented product.	bill of materials, route card, product specification, and dataset metadata
dq_chemical_inventory	wet processing	Record every dye substance, carrier, salt, alkali, acid, bleaching agent, reducing agent, surfactant, softener, coating, flame retardant, water repellent, and cleaning chemical actually used as its own exchange; do not use aggregate “dyes” or “auxiliaries” rows.	formulation, dosing record, safety data sheet, and stock reconciliation

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_reference_identity	reference flow	The selected reference flow UUID, Product flow type, CPC 26830 classification, Mass property, Units of mass unit group, and kg reference unit shall all be present and mutually consistent.	un-cpc-v3-26830; jrc-ilcd-2010
validate_scope_exclusions	product identity	Reject records for terry towelling, narrow fabrics, cotton subclass 26810, man-made-fibre subclass 26820, carpets, tufted fabrics, knitted pile fabrics, apparel, or made-up articles.	un-cpc-v3-26830
validate_required_qualifiers	dataset metadata	Fibre composition, pile/chenille construction, width, mass per unit area, finish state, conditioning basis, grade, geography, gate, wet-processing route, and packaging inclusion shall be declared.	iso-3801-1977; jrc-ilcd-2010
validate_atomic_inventory	all inventory exchanges	Every actual input, output, waste, wastewater stream, and direct emission shall be represented as one atomic exchange with exact identity and destination; aggregate labels and selector instructions fail validation.	eu-textiles-bat-2022; roos-textile-chemicals-2018
validate_route_coverage	process map	Weaving and final inspection are required; wet processing is included only when evidenced, and every included or omitted conditional process shall have a route record.	eu-textiles-bref-2023; eu-textiles-bat-2022
validate_foreground_evidence	quantitative inventory	Every amount shall come from a foreground record or a documented calculation from foreground records. Blank, estimated, default, or AI-generated quantity ranges do not conform.	iso-14044-2006; eu-textiles-bat-2022
validate_mass_balance	yarn, fabric, chemical, water, wastewater, and waste records	Process-level balances shall reconcile inputs, conforming outputs, waste, stock change, reuse, and documented losses within the facility's stated measurement uncertainty.	eu-textiles-bat-2022
validate_allocation	shared operations and co-products	Apply subdivision first, disclose the allocation driver and denominator, and retain a sensitivity check when allocation choice can materially affect results.	iso-14044-2006; jrc-ilcd-2010
validate_uuid_gate	UUID-bearing rows	A UUID may be retained only after flow-hybrid-search discovery and Tiangong state-100 direct readback confirm exact flow identity, flow type, required qualifiers, and compatible property/unit; unresolved or rejected candidates remain blank.
