Video recording or reproducing apparatus

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to complete apparatus whose principal function is to record video, reproduce video, or perform both functions. It covers equipment used in monitoring systems, media playback, home entertainment, and professional video chains, including multi-channel digital or network video recorders, local-media recorders and players, optical-disc video recorders and players, solid-state or hard-disk video apparatus, and professional record/playout decks. A foreground dataset shall represent a declared product family or production configuration rather than one default DVR, NVR, or other single model.

The declared configuration shall distinguish recording-only, reproduction-only, and combined apparatus; network and local-media operation; channel count; supported input and output resolution; installed and supported storage; operating, idle, standby, networked-standby, and off modes where present; and the mass and type of printed circuit board assemblies, storage devices, power supplies, enclosure parts, supplied accessories, cables, and packaging.

This PCR excludes cameras and camcorders, television receivers, monitors and projectors, sound-only recording or reproducing apparatus, separately traded parts, unrecorded or recorded media, and general-purpose computers or servers whose principal function is not video recording or reproduction. It does not authorize combining these excluded products with the reference apparatus merely because they occur in the same video system. The default production boundary is factory gate; use and end-of-life stages are conditional extensions and shall follow the rules below when included.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule

Normalize the foreground inventory to exactly 1 kg. Declare whether detachable external power supplies, remotes, batteries, and cables are included in the net product mass.
configuration_identity	represented product family	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Record mass and production quantity for every configuration used in a family average. Do not average products with materially different recording/playback function, network/local-medium architecture, channel or resolution class, storage configuration, or supplied-accessory set without disclosing the weights and retained distinctions.
component_mass_split	bill of materials	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66	kg	Reconcile the reference mass to separately recorded PCB assemblies, storage devices, power supply, enclosure and mechanical parts, batteries, displays if integral, cables, and bundled accessories. Record packaging outside net product mass.
mode_power_measurement	apparatus and supplied external power supply	Electrical power	W	Measure at the AC supply input in the as-shipped or declared default configuration. Record voltage, frequency, measurement uncertainty, connected ports, enabled network/control protocols, channel and resolution load, storage state, and mode transition conditions. Measure applicable recording, playback, simultaneous record/playback, idle, standby, networked-standby, and off modes separately; do not substitute nameplate power.

Service life, annual hours, channel loading, storage activity, and duty-cycle shares shall be scenario inputs, not universal defaults.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Purchased component and material inputs accepted at the reporting factory, with supplier identity, geography, technology, recycled-content basis where claimed, and upstream-dataset reference recorded.
starting_condition_role	The foreground begins at factory receipt and verification; upstream production of PCB assemblies, storage devices, power supplies, enclosure materials, accessories, electricity, fuels, and packaging is represented by linked background or supplier datasets.
product_classification_scope	Complete CPC 3.0 subclass 47323 apparatus only; excluded video-system equipment and separately traded parts remain distinct product categories.
recursive_input_rule	An input that itself satisfies this PCR is recorded as a purchased product with its own supplier dataset and declared starting condition; its manufacture is not recursively reconstructed inside the receiving foreground process.
upstream_dataset_requirement	Use technology-, geography-, and period-representative datasets for high-mass or high-impact inputs, and retain supplier-specific data when verified. Proxy use requires identity, representativeness, and substitution disclosure.
disclosure	Declare the represented function/configuration, factory sites, reporting period, family weighting, included components and accessories, packaging convention, cut-offs, proxies, excluded stages, and whether use and end-of-life extensions are included.

boundary_exclusions	product and system scope	Exclude cameras/camcorders, televisions, monitors/projectors, sound-only apparatus, separately traded parts/media, external displays and cameras, user networks and content services, and general-purpose computing equipment unless an expanded system study explicitly adds them as separate datasets.	unsd-cpc-3-0-structure
boundary_component_resolution	purchased electronics and assemblies	Preserve separate inventory resolution for PCB assemblies, storage devices, power supplies, enclosure/mechanical parts, accessories/cables, batteries, and packaging. Do not collapse these into an unspecified electronics input when records permit resolution.	iec-62474-2018; eu-rohs-2011-65

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
allocation_avoid	all foreground processes	Avoid allocation by subdivision, separate metering, configuration-specific BOMs, and explicit recording of rework loops. Do not allocate excluded camera, display, television, or general-purpose computing burdens to the reference apparatus merely because equipment shares a system or line.	iso-14044-2006; iec-63366-2025
allocation_shared_resources	shared line energy, utilities, and materials	Allocate shared electricity and utilities using measured cycle time and operating power, machine-hours, or another causal physical driver. Allocate directly attributable materials by BOM or measured mass. If a non-physical basis is unavoidable, document the reason, data, result, and sensitivity.	iso-14044-2006; iec-63366-2025
allocation_rework_and_recovery	rework, scrap, co-products, and end-of-life recovery	Record gross inputs, good outputs, internal rework, rejects, and treatment routes before allocation. Apply burdens to saleable co-products using a declared physical relationship where feasible; keep any economic allocation or avoided-product credit as a disclosed alternative scenario and do not mix it with the foreground mass balance.	iso-14044-2006; iec-63366-2025; iec-tr-62635-2012
