Radio broadcast receivers not capable of operating without an external source of power, of a kind used in motor vehicles

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to finished radio broadcast receivers designed for installation and use in road motor vehicles and dependent on an external vehicle electrical supply. It covers standalone head units and integrated receiver, audio, or infotainment units when radio reception remains a declared product function. A covered unit may incorporate a display, audio amplification, media reproduction, connectivity, or navigation; those combined functions and the delivered configuration must be declared.

The foreground manufacturing package starts with purchased electronic components and assemblies, mechanical parts, displays, amplifier or navigation modules, wiring harnesses, installation accessories, consumables, and packaging at the reporting organization's receiving gate. It covers the controlled assembly, integration, programming, functional and electrical testing, rework, waste preparation, and packaging operations needed to deliver a finished receiver at the manufacturer's gate. Purchased component production and material extraction require upstream datasets unless performed within the reporting organization.

Excluded are portable or battery-powered receivers capable of operating without external power; receivers not designed for motor vehicles; antennas, loudspeakers, displays, amplifiers, navigation devices, wiring harnesses, or mounting parts supplied alone; complete vehicles; repair services; and a rule written for only one vehicle model or proprietary stock-keeping unit. A product-specific dataset may represent a single model, but it must declare how that model fits this category.

calc_inventory_normalization	every foreground amount	Normalized amount = reporting-period process amount / reporting-period net accepted receiver output mass.

calc_variant_weighting	multi-variant dataset	Weighted amount = sum of variant-specific normalized amount multiplied by variant accepted output mass, divided by total accepted output mass.	variant amounts; variant accepted masses; variant qualifiers	production-mass-weighted inventory and disclosed variant mix	iso-14044-2006
calc_mode_power	operating, idle/standby, and automatic power-down modes	Prefer direct power measurement; otherwise power = time-aligned DC voltage × current.

calc_mass_reconciliation	each material process and reporting period	Imbalance = opening stock + receipts - closing stock - accepted outputs - documented returns - waste outputs. Investigate and disclose unresolved imbalance; do not force it to zero by changing measured flows.	stock, receipt, product, return, and waste masses	kg imbalance and reconciliation status	iso-14044-2006
