Other telephone sets and apparatus for transmission or reception of voice, images or other data, including apparatus for communication in a wired or wireless network (such as a local or wide area network)

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to finished equipment whose principal product function is transmitting or receiving voice, images, or other data, including communication over wired or wireless local- or wide-area networks. The category is deliberately heterogeneous: it includes non-cordless line telephone sets, building intercom apparatus, non-cellular portable radio telephones, base stations, hubs, routers, gateways, channel-to-channel adapters, modems, radiotelegraphic apparatus, telephone switchboards, and radio-telephonic or radio-telegraphic telemetry receivers. A foreground package shall identify its actual device family and configuration; a router, switch, access point, base station, or telephone shall never be used as a proxy for the whole category.

The core reference is factory-gate production per kilogram of net finished equipment. Purchased components and modules retain their upstream burdens through linked datasets. Use, maintenance, refurbishment, and end-of-life processes are conditional extensions for cradle-to-grave studies and shall use the declared configuration, operating lifetime, traffic or duty profile, geography, and route-specific records. This PCR does not provide generic numerical defaults across device families; missing quantities require foreground collection.

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
dq_identity	reference product and inputs	Preserve exact flow identity and declare device family/configuration; no narrow device or wrong-classification proxy is acceptable for the broad reference product.	Tiangong UUID readback; BOM; model/configuration record
dq_representativeness	all foreground records	Report time, geography, technology, model mix and site coverage; explain exclusions and production weighting.	coverage table; production totals; site list
dq_completeness	BOM and process inventory	Reconcile BOM mass, accepted product, rejects, packaging and stock changes; assess mass-, energy- and environmentally significant omissions cumulatively.	reconciliation; cut-off register; sensitivity analysis
dq_measurement	meters, scales and test equipment	Use calibrated or verified instruments with traceable units and retain measurement boundary and uncertainty.	calibration/verification certificates; test setup; uncertainty statement
dq_secondary_data	upstream and scenario data	Use geography-, time- and technology-matched datasets; record source, version/year and substitution rationale.	dataset register; source references; data-quality assessment
dq_power_profile	conditional use stage	The profile shall represent the actual hardware/software configuration and declared traffic, radio, port and duty states; LNE tests shall disclose tested ports/modules and measurement setup.	power report; configuration; telemetry; epa-energy-star-lne-v1-1

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_reference_identity	reference flow	The reference product UUID shall be 8b57a042-ffa4-4f3d-a5c7-556fce28e7b3, state code 100, Product flow, with Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 and kg from Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66.
validate_family_configuration	category scope	Reject a package lacking device family and configuration qualifiers, or one that generalizes a router, switch, access point, base station, telephone or another narrow product to the whole category.	un-cpc-v3-47223; epa-energy-star-lne-v1-1
validate_reference_amount	factory-gate output	Net finished-equipment output shall equal 1 kg after normalization; packaging shall be reported separately and must not be embedded silently.
validate_process_coverage	foreground boundary	Require assembly/configuration/testing and factory-gate release, plus every applicable in-house part process. Conditional lifecycle processes shall appear whenever the claimed scope includes them.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-4-1
validate_bom_and_mass_balance	production inventory	Require BOM/component traceability and a documented mass balance; unresolved significant differences are findings, not automatic cut-offs.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-4-1
validate_operational_energy	conditional use stage	Require measured power/load-state data and time profile for the actual configuration, with explicit PoE/downstream-power boundary; borrowed narrow-family power values fail unless justified as a named scenario with sensitivity.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-4-1; epa-energy-star-lne-v1-1
validate_allocation	shared processes	Require subdivision where practicable, otherwise a causal physical allocation basis; economic fallback and sensitivity shall be disclosed.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-4-1
validate_eol_routes	conditional end-of-life	Require route mass balance and conditional removal/treatment of batteries, qualifying PCBAs, brominated-flame-retardant plastics, displays, external cables and other applicable components.	eu-weee-directive-2012-19-eu
validate_data_quality	all data	Report methodological consistency, completeness, uncertainty, representativeness, age, acquisition method, supplier independence, geography, technology and cut-off treatment.	etsi-es-203-199-v1-4-1

10. Published Dataset Profile

Field	Value

downstream_use	secondary_dataset; background_dataset after review of representativeness, upstream links, allocation and completeness
allowed_use	Model production of the declared finished equipment/configuration at factory gate; aggregate only within the same device family using documented production weights; extend to use and end-of-life with configuration- and scenario-specific records.
excluded_use	Whole-category proxy based on one router, switch, access point, base station, telephone or model; comparison across unlike devices without equivalent function/capacity/lifetime; use-stage modelling from nameplate power alone; unidentified BOM substitution; unqualified market-average claims.
required_metadata	PCR id/version; reference UUID; device family; manufacturer/model/configuration; fixed/modular state; modules, ports/interfaces, protocols/bands, capacity/performance; power architecture and PoE boundary; included accessories/software; net mass and packaging; production sites/period; technology route; BOM coverage; allocation; cut-offs; geography; data sources; conditional lifetime/use/EoL scenario.
required_quality_disclosure	Foreground/secondary data shares; temporal, geographical and technological representativeness; configuration and production weighting; BOM and mass-balance completeness; measurement/calibration; uncertainty; cut-offs; allocation sensitivity; missing upstream datasets; use-profile and end-of-life scenario quality.
update_trigger	BOM, model family, chassis/module or power architecture change; material change in production route, site, supplier, yield or energy mix; firmware change affecting power; new measured use profile; market or end-of-life route change; source/standard revision; unresolved data gap becomes material.
