Ultra-violet or infra-red ray apparatus, used in medical, surgical, dental or veterinary sciences

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to complete apparatus whose declared intended medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary function is delivered by ultraviolet or infrared optical radiation. It covers non-laser ultraviolet or infrared treatment, diagnostic, monitoring, or procedure-support apparatus supplied as a complete market-ready product, including the installed source, controls, housing, optical parts, power connection, and supplied accessories needed for the declared function.

The product definition is determined by intended purpose and radiation function, not merely by the presence of a lamp or heater. General-purpose lighting, space heating, tanning, industrial curing, material testing, germicidal fixtures without the assigned medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary intended purpose, laser equipment, ionizing-radiation equipment, electro-diagnostic apparatus whose diagnostic function is not delivered by ultraviolet or infrared radiation, and separately marketed consumables or replacement lamps are outside this boundary. Product variants using ultraviolet, infrared, or both are represented by conditional atomic rows; they are not multiplied across every lifecycle stage.

The base foreground package covers component receipt, apparatus assembly, final test, and packaging through the factory gate. Distribution, use and maintenance, and end of life are conditional modules that become mandatory whenever the study claims those lifecycle stages or a cradle-to-grave result. Applicable legal or conformity obligations remain jurisdiction- and intended-use-specific; this PCR does not certify medical-device safety or regulatory compliance.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivide_first	multi-product and shared processes	Avoid allocation by subdividing assembly, test, packaging, and utility records to the declared apparatus family whenever separate measurements or production records are available.	eu-pef-2021-2279
allocation_physical_driver	residual shared burdens	When subdivision is not possible, allocate shared electricity, water, cleaning, and packaging operations using a documented causal physical driver such as machine time, test time, metered energy, processed mass, or accepted unit count. Economic allocation requires a documented reason that no causal physical relation is practicable.	eu-pef-2021-2279

validate_reference_count	normalization	Require exactly one released apparatus as the reference amount and require net mass plus packaged mass as separate metadata; lamp count cannot replace apparatus count.
