1. Scope and Applicability
This PCR covers factory-gate production of complete electric motors with rated output not exceeding 37.5 W, other direct-current motors, and direct-current generators other than photovoltaic generators. It applies to brushed, brushless, permanent-magnet, and wound-field designs only when the finished product meets the declared category identity. The English boundary follows the official CPC 3.0 structure (un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025).
Photovoltaic generators, AC-only motors and alternators, generating sets, rotary converters, motor-driven equipment as a whole, and standalone replacement parts are excluded. Use and maintenance electricity, installation, distribution after the declared factory gate, and end-of-life treatment are outside the default boundary. A data package may extend those stages, but must report them separately.

| representative_product | a packed, factory-tested complete DC motor or DC generator ready for dispatch |
| production_route | purchased-material and component preparation, magnetic-core and shaft fabrication where performed, winding and insulation, rotor/commutation assembly, impregnation and curing where used, final assembly, testing, finishing, and packing |
| market_state | new complete product at the manufacturing facility gate, with rated output, motor/generator function, commutation technology, magnet technology, cooling arrangement, enclosure, mass, and packing state declared |
3. Reference Flow
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| What | a complete CPC 46111 electric motor or DC generator meeting the declared technical specification |
| How much | 1 kg of packed finished product at the factory gate |
| How well | passed the manufacturer's declared final electrical, mechanical, and safety inspection, with tested characteristics and test basis retained |
| How long or cycle | one production reporting period; service life and use-stage output are not part of this reference flow |
| reference_flow_link | finished_motor_generator |
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reference amount | 1 kg |
| Reference product flow | Electric motors a17dfc74-85fa-4cdc-bd1f-61c543d349f2 |
| Reference flow property | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 |

| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | motor or generator function; rated output and rating basis; DC or universal supply characteristic where relevant; brushed, brushless, or other commutation technology; permanent-magnet chemistry or wound-field design; pole count; rated voltage; duty and duty type; efficiency or loss test method when reported; cooling arrangement; enclosure and protection class; embedded controller inclusion; product mass basis; packing state; production geography; reporting period; factory gate |
When constructing a foreground data package, every required qualifier must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, the reference-flow comment, the product description, or an equivalent field. The broad Tiangong reference flow does not supply product-specific technology, rating, geography, or packing facts.
4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
reference_mass | reference product and all mass-normalized exchanges | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Measure net finished-machine mass and included dispatch packaging separately, then report their sum as the packed reference product; normalize every exchange to exactly 1 kg packed product and disclose both masses. |
energy_conversion | purchased electricity and natural gas | energy for electricity; volume for gaseous natural gas | MJ for electricity; m3 for natural gas | Preserve metered source units and reference conditions. Convert electricity to MJ using 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ; disclose the temperature and pressure basis for gas volume and do not infer it from mass without a documented composition and conversion. |
rated_output_basis | category eligibility and product metadata | rated mechanical output for motors or rated electrical output for generators | W or kW | Record the nameplate rating and rating basis. Apply the 37.5 W threshold only to the first category branch; do not apply it to the separate “other DC motors” or “DC generators” branches. |
scrap_mass_balance | steel, copper, and aluminium inputs and scrap outputs | Mass | kg | Reconcile input mass to incorporated material, saleable co-product if any, waste scrap, and measured stock change over the reporting period without netting recycled scrap from virgin or purchased input. |
5. System Boundary
The foreground boundary is gate-to-gate manufacture. Purchased materials and components cross the starting gate; component preparation, winding, rotor and stator assembly, impregnation or curing where performed, final assembly, testing, finishing, and packing remain foreground operations. The manufacturing-chain decomposition and the need to link gate-to-gate records to upstream datasets are supported by nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing.
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
boundary_factory_gate | all foreground processes | Include all operations under the reporting manufacturer's operational control from receipt of purchased materials or components through release of the packed finished motor or generator; disclose outsourced steps and do not silently omit them. | nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing |
boundary_upstream_inputs | purchased product inputs | Link each purchased material, component, electricity supply, and fuel to an upstream dataset matching material grade, product state, technology, geography, and delivery boundary; do not count upstream emissions as direct factory emissions. | nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing |
boundary_route_condition | conditional technologies | Include permanent magnets only for the declared permanent-magnet route, carbon brushes only for a brushed commutated route, and direct-fired curing gas and its direct fossil carbon dioxide only when those operations occur at the reporting site. | |
boundary_additional_exchanges | facility inventory completeness | Add any additional crossing exchange as a separate substance- or product-specific row with its own identity, property, amount method, and evidence; never replace missing detail with a collective material, utility, waste, or emissions label. |
Boundary Abstraction
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| declared_starting_condition | purchased materials and components received at the reporting manufacturing facility gate, with the in-house versus purchased-subassembly split declared |
| starting_condition_role | foreground gate-to-gate starting condition; upstream production remains represented by linked datasets |
| product_classification_scope | complete products meeting the semantic CPC 46111 boundary, independent of any one route or nameplate rating within the three covered branches |
| recursive_input_rule | a purchased motor or generator incorporated into another covered product is recorded as a separate same-category product input with its own upstream dataset and is not recursively re-expanded inside this foreground package |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | every purchased material, component, packaging item, electricity supply, and fuel requires a geography-, technology-, grade-, and product-state-compatible upstream dataset |
| disclosure | disclose the product branch, technology, rated output, production geography, reporting period, operations performed in-house, outsourced operations, packaging inclusion, cut-offs, allocation, and all missing upstream datasets |

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivide | mixed products, routes, or production lines | First subdivide metered processes, batches, and material issues by product family, technology route, and reporting period wherever physically separate records exist. | |
allocation_causal | remaining shared energy and auxiliary operations | Allocate remaining shared burdens using a documented causal driver such as machine time, metered energy, throughput mass, or test time; mass allocation is permitted only when it reasonably represents the physical cause. | |
allocation_scrap | steel, copper, and aluminium scrap | Report scrap mass and destination explicitly. Do not subtract scrap revenue, recycled-content credit, or avoided primary production from foreground inputs or direct emissions; any end-of-life or substitution credit must be a separately disclosed scenario. | |
allocation_no_double_count | purchased subassemblies and outsourced operations | Do not include both an upstream purchased-subassembly dataset and the same subassembly's fabrication burdens inside the foreground system unless the boundary split and non-overlap are demonstrated. |

calc_reference_output | finished_motor_generator | divide every exchange by conforming packed output mass so the quantitative reference output equals exactly 1 kg | cp_finished_output | 1 kg packed finished product |
Data Quality Requirements
| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
dq_identity | reference product and route-conditional rows | Retain product branch, nameplate rated output and basis, commutation and magnet technology, duty, rated voltage, cooling, enclosure, embedded-controller inclusion, product mass, packing state, and factory gate. | nameplate, product specification, bill of materials, route traveller, and release record; motor terminology and test context may be checked against iea-4e-peet-motor-regulations-2022 |

System boundary rules · 5
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
system_boundary_rule_1 | foreground_system_boundary | The foreground boundary is gate-to-gate manufacture. Purchased materials and components cross the starting gate; component preparation, winding, rotor and stator assembly, impregnation or curing where performed, final assembly, testing, finishing, and packing remain foreground operations. The manufacturing-chain decomposition and the need to link gate-to-gate records to upstream datasets are supported by nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing. | |
boundary_factory_gate | all foreground processes | Include all operations under the reporting manufacturer's operational control from receipt of purchased materials or components through release of the packed finished motor or generator; disclose outsourced steps and do not silently omit them. | nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing |
boundary_upstream_inputs | purchased product inputs | Link each purchased material, component, electricity supply, and fuel to an upstream dataset matching material grade, product state, technology, geography, and delivery boundary; do not count upstream emissions as direct factory emissions. | nordelof-tillman-2018-motor-manufacturing |
boundary_route_condition | conditional technologies | Include permanent magnets only for the declared permanent-magnet route, carbon brushes only for a brushed commutated route, and direct-fired curing gas and its direct fossil carbon dioxide only when those operations occur at the reporting site. | |
boundary_additional_exchanges | facility inventory completeness | Add any additional crossing exchange as a separate substance- or product-specific row with its own identity, property, amount method, and evidence; never replace missing detail with a collective material, utility, waste, or emissions label. |
Allocation rules · 4
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivide | mixed products, routes, or production lines | First subdivide metered processes, batches, and material issues by product family, technology route, and reporting period wherever physically separate records exist. | |
allocation_causal | remaining shared energy and auxiliary operations | Allocate remaining shared burdens using a documented causal driver such as machine time, metered energy, throughput mass, or test time; mass allocation is permitted only when it reasonably represents the physical cause. | |
allocation_scrap | steel, copper, and aluminium scrap | Report scrap mass and destination explicitly. Do not subtract scrap revenue, recycled-content credit, or avoided primary production from foreground inputs or direct emissions; any end-of-life or substitution credit must be a separately disclosed scenario. | |
allocation_no_double_count | purchased subassemblies and outsourced operations | Do not include both an upstream purchased-subassembly dataset and the same subassembly's fabrication burdens inside the foreground system unless the boundary split and non-overlap are demonstrated. |
