1. Scope and Applicability
This PCR supports cradle-to-gate foreground data packages for manufacture and factory release of complete turbo-jet and turbo-propeller aircraft engines. It applies to civil or military products when the engine model, configuration, production site, reporting period, and release state are declared.
The category includes complete turbo-jets whose principal useful output is jet thrust and complete turbo-propellers whose gas turbine delivers shaft power to a propeller system. It excludes turbo-fan engines unless the classification mapping is separately reviewed, reciprocating aircraft engines, reaction engines other than turbo-jets, gas turbines for other applications, separately sold engine parts, aircraft installation, distribution, use, maintenance, overhaul, and end-of-life. Development and certification campaigns outside routine manufacture are excluded unless the study goal explicitly includes and allocates them.

| How much | 1 kg net mass of finished engine at the factory gate |
| How well | Conforms to the declared engine model or type design, configuration, quality-acceptance status, rated thrust or shaft power, and delivery state |

|---|---|
| Reference amount | 1 kg |
| Reference product flow | Turbo-jets and turbo-propellers fb78e875-8bc6-484d-b2c4-ede9c1726721 |
| Reference flow property | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 |
| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | engine type: turbo-jet or turbo-propeller; manufacturer and model; rated thrust or shaft power and rating basis; delivered configuration and installed accessories; dry or wet mass state and included fluids; production site and geography; reporting period; new-build versus overhaul state; acceptance and certification context; packaging and transport-stand boundary |
When constructing a foreground data package, every required qualifier must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference-flow comments, product description, or an equivalent field. A missing qualifier makes the reference flow definition incomplete.
4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
reference_engine_mass | reference product | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Measure or obtain from controlled release records the net mass of the delivered engine configuration. Exclude reusable rigs and transport stands; declare whether operating fluids, preservation media, accessories, and one-way packaging are included. |
gas_volume_conditions | natural gas and industrial oxygen | Volume 93a60a56-a3c8-22da-a746-0800200c9a66 | m3 | State the temperature, pressure, and dry/wet basis for metered gas volumes. Convert all records to one declared reference condition before normalization. |
electricity_energy_basis | purchased electricity | Net calorific value 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 | MJ | Preserve metered electrical energy and convert kWh to MJ with 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ; do not treat the mass-property UUID text associated with legacy records as a mass measurement. |
inventory_mass_normalization | mass-based inventory rows | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 | kg | Report gross inputs, returned material, segregated scrap, wastes, and direct emissions separately, then normalize allocated quantities by released reference-engine mass. |

|---|---|---|---|
sb_factory_gate | foreground_system_boundary | Include operations controlled by the reporting manufacturer from receipt of materials and components through component fabrication, heat treatment, surface treatment, cleaning, assembly, inspection, routine production testing, preservation, and factory release when those operations occur for the declared product. | us-epa-aerospace-sector-notebook-1998 |
sb_upstream_inputs | product_and_energy_inputs | Link every purchased material, component, chemical, fuel, electricity supply, water supply, and waste-treatment service crossing the foreground boundary to an upstream dataset with compatible product state, geography, technology, and delivery boundary. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
sb_complete_inventory | foreground_inventory | Retain all environmentally relevant material and energy flows, products, wastes, and direct emissions. Add product-specific BOM and process exchanges beyond the typical cards below as separate atomic rows. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
sb_test_boundary | production_testing | Include routine production and acceptance tests attributable to released engines. Exclude development, prototype, and type-certification campaigns unless the goal explicitly includes them and their allocation is documented. Record test-cell fuel and measured exhaust exchanges separately. | us-epa-aerospace-sector-notebook-1998; icao-aircraft-engine-emissions-standards |
sb_excluded_life_cycle | downstream_life_cycle | Exclude aircraft integration, distribution beyond the factory gate, flight operation, maintenance, repair, overhaul, and end-of-life from the default boundary. | un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025 |
Boundary Abstraction
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| declared_starting_condition | Purchased material stock and components received at the engine-manufacturing boundary, with supplier, grade or part identity, mass, delivery state, and upstream-dataset coverage declared |
| starting_condition_role | Cradle-to-gate foreground starting point; upstream production and inbound delivery remain linked background processes |
| product_classification_scope | Complete turbo-jets and turbo-propellers; CPC 3.0 subclass 43132 is classification context and does not include separately sold parts |
| recursive_input_rule | A complete engine received and incorporated as an input remains a separately recorded product flow with its own upstream dataset and is not relabelled as foreground production; separately purchased parts are recorded individually by their actual product identities |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Use supplier-specific data when available; otherwise use a geographically, technologically, temporally, and product-state compatible background dataset and disclose proxies |
| disclosure | Declare make-or-buy boundary, in-house process set, alloy grades and product forms, engine configuration, test schedule, direct-emission measurement method, scrap destinations, wastewater treatment, allocation choices, and all omitted or proxied exchanges |

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_subdivision | multi_product_processes | First avoid allocation by submetering, batch tracing, process subdivision, or system expansion where technically justified. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_physical_driver | shared_facility_inputs_and_outputs | When subdivision is not practicable, allocate shared electricity, fuels, water, chemicals, wastes, and direct emissions using a documented causal physical driver such as machine time, bath loading, test-cell time, or measured mass throughput. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_engine_variants | shared_engine_family_production | Do not allocate solely by unit count when engine variants differ materially in mass or processing. Use engine-specific records or a justified mass-, machine-time-, or test-time-based driver and disclose the sensitivity. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
allocation_scrap | recyclable_scrap | Record gross material input and segregated scrap mass before applying the study's declared recycling method. Do not subtract scrap from input or claim a recycling credit twice; disclose destination, quality, and allocation convention. | eu-pef-method-2021 |
