Other units of automatic data processing machines

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to separately presented automatic data processing units within the reviewed semantic boundary of CPC 3.0 subclass 45289: arithmetic units; accelerators other than graphics accelerators; print processors; control and adaptor units; disk-to-tape or tape-to-disk converters; machines that decode data and present the result in clear form; machines that introduce fixed programs into integrated circuits; and machines that transcribe data onto media in coded form.

Every foreground data package shall select one equipment family from that list and describe the unit's data-processing function. A product that cannot be assigned unambiguously to one listed family, or that combines functions whose principal identity may fall in another subclass, requires manual_review before this PCR is used.

The default dataset boundary is production of a finished unit at the manufacturing gate. It covers attributable parts and subassemblies, PCBA and final assembly, configuration and functional testing, warehousing, and packaging. It does not by default include outbound delivery, use-stage electricity or data-centre overhead, maintenance, or end-of-life; any extension shall be separately modelled and disclosed.

Servers and other complete automatic data processing machines; systems presented as complete systems; fixed or removable storage units; input or output peripherals; video, graphics, sound, or network expansion cards; integrated circuits; general network communications equipment; and generic parts or accessories that do not themselves perform the listed data-processing functions are excluded.

Missing required qualifiers make the reference flow definition incomplete for that data package.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Measure accepted net product mass without transport packaging. If a packaged reference state is required, report product and packaging masses separately and keep the reference amount tied to net product mass.
count_to_mass	item-count production records	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Convert accepted and rejected item counts with measured configuration-specific mass per item from the same reporting period; do not use nominal catalogue mass when measured lot mass is available.
functional_capacity	product identity and test results	Family-specific native capacity	declared native unit	State the equipment-family function and its native rating or throughput test. Do not aggregate different equipment families by an invented common capacity factor; route a non-equivalent or ambiguous unit to manual_review.
power_and_energy	production tests and any use-stage extension	Energy and power	kWh and W	Record measured power by supported operating state, workload or capacity setting, test method, and duration. Calculate energy from state-specific power and time; do not fold data-centre cooling, UPS, or other site overhead into device electricity without a separately declared allocation.
bom_mass_balance	parts, subassemblies, finished product, rejects, and scrap	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Reconcile incoming attributable component mass with accepted product, packaging handled separately, rejects, recoverable scrap, and other wastes over the same lot and reporting period.
delivery_service	conditional outbound delivery	Transport service and mass	tonne-km and kg	Record mode, origin, destination, distance, load factor, and shipped mass separately. Delivery is outside the default factory-gate reference flow and shall not be hidden in product mass or manufacturing energy.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Purchased parts, PCBAs, modules, enclosure and mechanical parts, cables and connectors, power and integrated cooling parts, incidental storage where applicable, auxiliary materials, and packaging arrive at the manufacturing or integration site with supplier dataset identities declared.
starting_condition_role	Upstream dataset boundary for supplier-produced parts and subassemblies; foreground collection begins with receipt, kitting, in-house assembly, test, warehousing, and packaging activities.
product_classification_scope	Only separately presented units within the reviewed CPC 45289 equipment families; the equipment family and principal function are mandatory identity fields.
recursive_input_rule	A purchased item already meeting the same CPC 45289 product identity is recorded as an upstream product input with its supplier dataset and configuration; its production is not recreated inside the receiving foreground process.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Use technology-, geography-, and time-representative datasets for PCBAs, integrated circuits and other electronic parts, enclosure and mechanical parts, interfaces and cabling, power components, integrated cooling components and coolant, incidental storage, auxiliary materials, packaging, electricity, and waste treatment.
disclosure	Declare equipment family; function and capacity; configuration; BOM coverage; integrated storage and interfaces; cooling and power architecture; firmware state; factory-gate or delivered state; packaging; geography; time period; yields; allocation; exclusions; and any use, maintenance, delivery, or end-of-life extension.

Allocate manufacturing-facility cooling and power-support burdens to production; exclude data-centre or customer-site cooling, UPS, and building overhead from the factory-gate product unless a separately declared downstream extension is modelled.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
boundary_delivery	packaging and distribution	Inventory packaging at the plant. Outbound delivery begins after the factory gate and is excluded by default; when included, model it as a conditional route-specific process and preserve the factory-gate result.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
boundary_exclusions	overlap control	Exclude complete computers and servers, complete systems, storage units, input or output peripherals, expansion cards, integrated circuits, network communications equipment, and passive parts or accessories covered by other product identities.	unstats-cpc-3-0-45289
boundary_use_and_end_of_life	downstream extensions	Do not include use electricity, maintenance replacement, reuse, recycling, or disposal in the default production dataset. If a lifecycle model adds them, disclose operating lifetime, state-time profile, electricity geography, maintenance, and end-of-life scenario separately.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_avoid	shared production and test processes	Avoid allocation by subdividing lines, meters, test benches, and records by configuration or production lot whenever feasible.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
allocation_physical	shared facility electricity, cooling, warehousing, and assembly support	When subdivision is not feasible, use a causal physical driver. Prefer board area for PCB processes, good die area for integrated-circuit processes, machine time or metered energy for assembly and test, and mass for other components and warehousing.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
allocation_economic_fallback	shared processes without a defensible physical relationship	Use economic allocation only when a physical relation is insufficient; disclose prices, period, currency, co-products, and a sensitivity check.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
allocation_rework	rejects and rework	Return successfully reworked units to the originating lot without a second product credit. Assign measured rework inputs and unrecovered reject treatment to the lot that generated them.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
allocation_recycling	production scrap and recoverable materials	Record scrap mass and treatment output explicitly. Do not apply an avoided-burden or recycling credit inside the foreground inventory unless the downstream study declares and consistently applies a recycling method.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-3-1
