Parts for the goods of subclasses 47221 to 47223

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR describes factory-gate production of a separately supplied, finished part designed for a telephone set or communication apparatus in the CPC 47221–47223 host set. A concrete data package must name the part, compatible host, technology and production route. The category flow is a mass reporting identity, not permission to compare unlike parts by mass alone. Production of a complete telephone, router or base station is outside this part-level reference. [un-cpc-3-2025; itu-l1410-2024]

Required qualifiers	part type and part number; compatible host subclass and model; accepted functional specification; material composition; manufacturing route; production geography and period; packaging exclusion from net mass

A mass result is comparable only for parts with equivalent function, quality and boundary. The producer measures accepted net output mass for the same lot used by all inventory protocols. [itu-l1410-2024]

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	Weigh accepted finished parts on a calibrated scale after inspection and before transport packaging; exclude rejected units and the corrugated box. Collect using cp_finished_mass.
inventory_basis	all inventory rows	Physical flow property of each selected flow	row unit	Record attributable lot quantities per 1 kg reference flow using the same accepted net output mass and production period; preserve board area in m2, material masses in kg and electricity in kWh.

5. System Boundary

Cradle-to-gate accounting includes upstream datasets for purchased boards, ICs, solder paste, aluminium sheet, electricity and packaging, plus the declared on-site fabrication, assembly, testing and packing operations. Exclude host-device assembly after the part leaves the gate, distribution, use and end-of-life from this part dataset. Disclose any externally performed process as an upstream dataset. [itu-l1410-2024]

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Purchased materials and components at the part producer gate, with supplier production represented upstream
starting_condition_role	Explicit foreground inputs with linked upstream datasets
product_classification_scope	Dedicated separately supplied parts for host goods 47221, 47222 and 47223
recursive_input_rule	Record a purchased same-category part as a distinct input with its own upstream dataset and stop tracing at that declared supplier boundary; do not silently merge it into the reference output
upstream_dataset_requirement	Use composition- and geography-matched supplier datasets where available; disclose missing upstream processes and proxy limits
disclosure	Report part identity, route, supplier boundary, included stages, exclusions and all deviations

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
boundary_gate	foreground part production	Include applicable on-site fabrication, module assembly, testing and packing until acceptance at factory gate; disclose route-specific omissions.	itu-l1410-2024
boundary_supplier	purchased component inputs	Keep purchased-component upstream burdens and process boundary explicit; avoid double counting a supplier stage as on-site fabrication.	itu-l1410-2024

6. Process Inventory Structure

The cards below specify atomic exchanges for the common board-module and aluminium-sheet routes. Apply each card only when its stated physical operation occurs. A different part technology must disclose its own atomic exchanges and seek method review before treating this list as complete. [itu-l1410-2024]

Process Map

process_id	process_name	inclusion	inclusion_condition	role	quantitative_reference
part_manufacturing	Part fabrication, module assembly, testing and packing	required	Declare which of board population, sheet fabrication and packing actually occur; each conditional card follows that route	foreground production of one accepted part type	per 1 kg accepted finished part
