Parts for the goods of subclasses 43510 to 43560

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to separately supplied parts designed solely or principally for pulley tackle, hoists, winches, capstans, jacks, cranes, lifting frames, works trucks, fork-lift trucks, lifts, escalators, moving walkways, conveyors, and other lifting or handling machinery within the CPC 43510 to 43560 family. It covers production up to the factory gate of the finished part.

Complete lifting or handling machines, CPC 43580 buckets, shovels, grabs and grips, general-purpose fasteners or other standard items classified in their own right, manufacturing services on customer-owned inputs, installation, maintenance, use, and end-of-life are excluded. The representative inventory is a separately delivered, uncoated alloy-steel part made from hot-worked bar stock by cutting, machining, finishing, and inspection. A dataset for another material, forming route, coating, or assembled part shall declare that variant and replace or add one atomic row for every actual boundary-crossing material, chemical, waste, and emission.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product and mass-balance rows	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Use dry, clean net mass at the declared factory-gate state. Exclude transport packaging and separately supplied accessories. Retain weighing records and the allocation from lot output to accepted output.

5. System Boundary

The foreground boundary begins when externally supplied materials, utilities, and components arrive at the producing site and ends with the accepted, unpackaged part at the factory gate. Upstream production and delivery of purchased inputs are represented by linked background datasets. The foreground includes the actual cutting, machining, finishing, inspection, and any declared on-site heat treatment, thermal cutting, cleaning, joining, coating, or other route-specific operation used for the reported part.

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_input_output_inventory	all foreground processes	Record each actual raw material, fuel, energy carrier, process chemical, water input, product, waste, and direct elementary emission as a separate exchange. Retain a process flow sheet showing where wastes and emissions arise.	eu-smitheries-foundries-bat-2024
boundary_route_disclosure	product variants	Include only operations actually used for the declared part and disclose which forming, machining, heat-treatment, cleaning, joining, coating, and inspection steps are on-site or outsourced.	eu-smitheries-foundries-bat-2024
boundary_category_exclusions	product identity	Exclude complete lifting or handling machinery and the separately classified CPC 43580 buckets, shovels, grabs and grips from this parts PCR.	un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025; un-cpc-3-0-explanatory-notes-2025

Boundary Abstraction

product_classification_scope	Separately supplied parts solely or principally for the CPC 43510 to 43560 lifting and handling equipment family
recursive_input_rule	A purchased CPC 43570 part incorporated into another reported part remains a distinct technosphere input with its upstream dataset; an internally transferred intermediate is not reclassified as a new reference product
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link a geographically, technologically, temporally, and product-state appropriate upstream dataset for every purchased material, component, fuel, electricity supply, gas, water supply, and outsourced treatment
disclosure	Declare part identity, drawing revision, parent-machine family, material/alloy, gross input and net output masses, manufacturing and treatment route, outsourced steps, scrap destination, geography, reporting period, and factory-gate state

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
