Synthetic staple fibres, carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for synthetic staple fibres that have been carded, combed, drawn, blended, opened, or otherwise prepared for spinning while remaining unspun fibre material. It applies to disclosed synthetic polymer families such as polyester, polyamide, polyolefin, acrylic or modacrylic, and elastomeric-containing staple-fibre preparations when the output is classified within CPC 26210. Synthetic-synthetic blends may be included with their mass fractions declared. Mixed synthetic/natural or synthetic/artificial fibre preparations require an explicit classification determination and must not be assumed to belong to this PCR.

The common route is dry mechanical preparation from received synthetic staple fibre through opening, feeding, blending and a declared alignment/preparation operation. Combing and drawing, wet cleaning, application of spinning lubricants or antistatic agents, thermal conditioning, and dust-abatement operations are included only when they occur at the reporting facility. Each polymer family, blend composition, virgin or recovered feedstock route, preparation technology, and optional treatment route must be modelled separately unless foreground evidence demonstrates that aggregation remains representative.

Polymer synthesis, primary chemical-fibre manufacture, tow conversion to staple where it occurs before the declared input gate, yarn spinning, twisting, winding, sizing for weaving, weaving, knitting, nonwoven manufacture, dyeing, printing, coating, and textile finishing are outside this PCR. The output is fibre prepared for spinning; it is not yarn and is not woven or other fabric.

The verified Tiangong product flow is a state-code-100 Product flow and is CPC-exact for 26210, but its name, “Synthetic Fiber Cloth”, is semantically misleading. This PCR uses the UUID only as the required Tiangong database identity. Every foreground data package must override the misleading implication through the required qualifiers and a product description that states “synthetic staple fibre processed for spinning, not woven fabric”. The flow name must never be used to include weaving or any fabric manufacture. Classification scope is supported by un-cpc-v3-2025; the process-state distinction is supported by ec-jrc-txt-bref-2023 and ifc-textile-ehs-2007.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivision_first	Multi-output or shared preparation operations	Avoid allocation by submetering, batch separation, route separation or process subdivision so that only inputs and outputs attributable to the declared prepared fibre are included.	eu-pef-method-2021; iso-14044-2006
allocation_physical_relation	Shared operations that cannot be subdivided	If subdivision is not feasible, use a documented causal physical relationship such as measured machine time, throughput, metered energy or mass only when it represents resource causality; preserve separate polymer and route results.	eu-pef-method-2021
allocation_other_relation_fallback	Residual multifunctionality without a defensible physical relation	Use another relationship, including economic allocation, only after documenting why subdivision and physical allocation fail, the price basis and period, and a sensitivity result.	eu-pef-method-2021
allocation_internal_recirculation	Fibre returned to the same foreground line	Treat verified same-line recirculation as an internal loop. Do not count it as both exported co-product and new external input; retain gross and net movement records for mass balance.	eu-textiles-bat-2022
allocation_exported_fibre_material	Saleable noils, off-spec fibre or other exported material	Classify an output as co-product only when it has documented product status and destination. Otherwise record it as waste. Disclose any burden allocation and do not apply an avoided-burden credit silently.	eu-pef-method-2021; iso-14044-2006
