Parts and accessories for the goods of subclasses 45141, 45142 and 45160 (except covers, carrying cases and the like)

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers separately supplied functional parts and accessories for accounting machines, cash registers, postage-franking and ticket-issuing machines incorporating a calculating device, POS terminals, ATMs and other office machines. Host-machine function and dedicated compatibility determine inclusion. Complete machines, typewriter and pocket-calculator parts, computing-machine parts, covers and carrying cases are excluded. The retained identity is promoted for part-level manufacture and replacement integration: a kilogram of a part does not deliver a kilogram of host-machine service. [un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025]

An operational banknote recycling cassette illustrates the inventory. Its engagement with the cash-handling mechanism distinguishes it from a transport case. [cbp-hq-086537-1990; diebold-nixdorf-cash-cassette-flexibility] The material routes below are conditional engineering collection models, not a manufacturer bill of materials. Define a separate dataset for each part number and revision; do not average unrelated functions. Other eligible parts use the same collection principles with their own fully specified atomic exchanges. A cassette inventory is not a default for a circuit board or a ticket-issuing mechanism.

Required qualifiers	part number; revision; host function and model; interface; net mass and count; material grades; electronics presence; acceptance test; rated duty where claimed; new or remanufactured state; site; period; manufacturing route; packaging mass

Declare every qualifier in the data package. Use the mass basis only for production normalization; comparisons require equivalent function, compatibility and life. Remanufactured parts require a separately disclosed collection and refurbishment boundary.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
net_mass	reference_product	Mass	kg	Use accepted net part mass M; exclude packaging, banknotes and failed units from M.
count_conversion	count records	Mass	kg	Mass = count × measured mean unit mass for the same revision; retain sample count and dispersion.
energy_conversion	electricity meters	Net calorific value	MJ	Convert kWh to MJ using 3.6 MJ/kWh; reconcile submeter totals with allocated invoice consumption.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Received identified material stocks and purchased finished components
starting_condition_role	Foreground entry condition, not burden-free raw material
product_classification_scope	CPC 3.0: 45180
recursive_input_rule	Record a purchased same-category part once with supplier dataset; internal transfers are linked, not recursively purchased again.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Link production, delivery and waste-treatment datasets matching material state, geography and technology.
disclosure	Disclose make/buy split, supplier boundaries, treatment destinations, exclusions and separate gate-to-gate from cradle-to-gate totals.

rule_id	applies_to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_partial	system_boundary	Use a disclosed partial production boundary; host operation and final disposal are separate downstream scenarios.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011
boundary_complete	foreground	Include actual fabrication, outsourced finishing, testing, rework, packing, inbound delivery and production-waste treatment. Extend the atomic inventory for every actual material, chemical and emission absent below; never hide it in a category row.
boundary_transfer	internal_transfers	Pair housing and chassis transfers by batch and mass; internal quantities cancel at the aggregated boundary. Purchased parts require upstream datasets and exclude their on-site fabrication route.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	Rule	source_ids
allocation_subdivide	shared_processes	Prefer metered subdivision; use a documented causal physical driver, then a justified economic basis if no physical relation is defensible.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011
allocation_rework	part_batches	Charge failed production and rework to accepted output. Keep internal regrind separate from purchased recycled resin. Report recovery conventions and do not subtract hypothetical avoided virgin production.

8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Data Collection Protocols

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalize	all rows	q_i = sum(Q_i after allocation and stock correction)/sum(M); M > 0	Q_i; M	q_i
transfer_balance	housing and chassis	Internal output = internal receipt + transfer stock change; exclude purchased receipts from this equation	paired transfer ledger	balance residual
material_balance	fabrication and assembly	Net material inputs = accepted net output + external waste + inventory change + separately measured losses; internal regrind is not a new external input. Investigate residual against instrument uncertainty.	material ledger	mass residual

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
identity	part and upstream datasets	Verify exact part revision and compatible supplier boundary; generic data require a declared sensitivity check.	BOM; supplier declarations
coverage	collection period	Record geography, period, technology, completeness and uncertainty.	ghg-protocol-product-standard-2011
quantity	all quantities	Retain raw observations and conversion factors. Missing records are unknown, not zero; investigate with supplier or site measurements.	Meter and batch evidence

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	Rule	source_ids
validate_scope	reference_flow	Require all qualifiers and host compatibility evidence. Reject complete hosts, transport cases and unqualified mixed-part averages.	un-cpc-3-0-structure-2025
validate_inventory	inventory	Check every applicable row has a quantity or explicit missing-data finding; reconcile BOM and actual route against added atomic rows. Missing UUIDs do not waive collection.
validate_balance	quantities	Require positive accepted mass, consistent units, paired internal transfers and explained balance residuals. Count rework once and packaging separately.
validate_use	downstream_use	Do not infer host energy savings, lifetime or recovery credits from cassette mass or manufacturer marketing claims.

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value
dataset_role	secondary_dataset; background_dataset
downstream_use	Part manufacture or replacement input to a separately defined host system
allowed_use	Compatible part number, revision, material route and gate boundary
