Agricultural produce cleaning, sorting and grading machinery manufacture

1. Scope and Applicability

This rule covers manufacture of complete machines for cleaning, sorting or grading eggs, fruit and other agricultural produce except seed, grain and dried leguminous vegetables. Separate wet washing, mechanical size/weight grading and optical defect inspection by declared configuration. Include only transfer and ejection mechanisms integral to the delivered machine. Exclude standalone produce conveyors, container cleaning/filling/packing machines, detached packing lines, separately sold parts, food cooking or extraction, farm production, packhouse operation, produce losses, yield, maintenance and end of life. The existing seed/grain/dried-legume machinery PCR explicitly excludes these products; this record supplies wet-module and optical/weighing-specific manufacturing rules. No cleaning or grading service is included.

Reference amount	1
Reference product flow	Machines for cleaning, sorting or grading eggs, fruits or other agricultural produce 36b20b75-5f43-46ab-9e96-d8018f4c75f4
Reference flow property	Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66
Reference unit group	Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66

Do not infer a food-contact certification, resin, machine mass, lifetime or factory consumption from manufacturer examples. Equal kilogram reference flows do not establish functional equivalence across washer and grader configurations.

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	M = accepted net mass of one complete machine of the same configuration in kg; collect using cp_mass.

volume_units	groundwater rows	Volume 93a60a56-a3c8-22da-a746-0800200c9a66	m3	Retain measured volume and its conditions; do not invent gas density, water density or calorific value to switch to mass or energy.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Materials and configured components received at declared supplier gates, with no implicit upstream steelmaking or component fabrication in foreground
starting_condition_role	Manufacturing input boundary for an accepted complete machine
product_classification_scope	Configured agricultural produce cleaning and grading machines within CPC 44127 context

upstream_dataset_requirement	Link input-specific upstream datasets matching material, finished-component gate, geography, voltage and treatment state. Missing links remain disclosed coverage gaps.
disclosure	Report foreground factory stages, outsourced operations, component content, incoming transport coverage, protective packaging gate, capital-equipment policy and every exclusion; no complete cradle-to-gate claim without verified upstream and logistics closure.

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
manufacturing_gate	foreground	Include every actual operation and attributable rework from declared received inputs through factory acceptance; distinguish purchased parts from site fabrication to prevent duplication. Use documented route records.
conditional_finish	finishing	Activate only documented finishing operations and chemical recipes. Manufacturer examples establish possible routes, not universal requirements or recipes.	sormac-sw50-2026
exclude_field	farm_use	Keep produce cultivation, packhouse operation, runtime water and sanitation, rejected produce, food yield and machine disposal outside this manufacturing inventory. No grading service is included.

Process records are separate contributors to one final accepted output, not seven separately traded reference products. Retain traceable internal-part transfer and bill-of-material records; internal transfers cancel within this foreground and do not receive duplicated upstream burdens. The cards below are explicit route-conditioned exchanges. Add each actual additional part, chemical, fuel, packaging piece, wastewater stream or measured elementary substance as its own identified row; absence of a card is not a cut-off permission. For outsourced finishing, replace site chemistry and energy with the exact purchased service or finished-part record and disclose its coverage.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
direct_attribution	shared_operations	Use job tickets and submetering before allocation. Where a common meter remains, require a measured causal driver such as machine-hours for the identified operation, with all participating jobs and idle load disclosed; divide the attributable quantity by accepted units of the same configuration before mass normalization.	ghg-product-allocation-2011
coproduct_decision	saleable_outputs	Do not assume scrap is a co-product. Disclose destination and legal/product status. If multiple saleable co-products actually occur, seek subdivision; justify a physical relation or, when unavailable, documented economic/other allocation with sensitivity. No universal mass share or avoided-steel credit is prescribed.	ghg-product-allocation-2011
rework_scrap	manufacturing_losses	Retain rework and rejected-unit burdens attributable to the accepted reporting batch. Record recovered internal material once and exported wastes separately. Disclose upstream recycled-content method and any downstream treatment separately to prevent double credits.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalize_mass	all inventory rows	q_ref = q_item / M; q_item = exchange amount per one accepted finished machine; q_ref = exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow.	q_item; M; cp_mass	q_ref

The finished_machine output is fixed at 1 kg and is not divided again. Apply the conversion to each other applicable row using the same configuration and batch; quantity numerator units remain unchanged. Mixed configurations must be separated, not averaged by count with a catalogue mass.

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
configuration_trace	all rows	Trace every input to installed BOM, route and accepted unit; supplier finished parts do not also receive raw-stock burdens. Disclose remaining components as missing coverage until separate atomic records are added.	drawings, BOM, supplier receipts
basis_quality	cp_mass	M must be positive measured net mass, with the same delivered configuration, fluid state and acceptance gate as all collected exchanges.	calibration and weighing records
coverage_quality	all processes	Document full batch temporal coverage, meter overlap, rejects, rework, stock changes, outsourced stages and unmeasured emissions. A missing record is unknown, not zero or not_applicable.	ledger, coverage matrix and measurement uncertainty
chemistry_quality	wet_surface; acceptance	Verify recipe, concentration and SDS for each supplied formulated chemical; characterize each outgoing waste stream and identify treatment separately from environmental emissions.	recipe, SDS, analyses and transfer tickets

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	applies_to	rule	source_ids
validate_reference	reference	Reject missing qualifiers, payload/gross mass substitution, non-positive M or mismatch between configuration, cp_mass and finished_machine. Require 1 kg output and explicit normalize_mass on every non-reference applicable row.
validate_atomic	inventory	Require one physical exchange per row, verified public identity when supplied, correct property/unit, localized display and medium. Unresolved UUIDs do not authorize proxy substitution or mixed rows.
validate_balance	coverage	Reconcile installed mass, stock, waste, retained fluids and purchased parts using the actual BOM. Reconcile utilities by stage; internal transfers cancel. Explain differences against recorded measurement uncertainty, without a fabricated numerical tolerance.
validate_completeness	dataset	Check every conditional stage against route evidence. Require missing chemicals, parts, test media and actual emissions to be split and collected before claiming a complete inventory; prohibit cradle-to-gate or service comparisons while upstream or functional coverage is incomplete.
validate_allocation	shared_operations	Require complete driver records and justification for allocation and scrap treatment; document sensitivity where another defensible allocation may change results.	ghg-product-allocation-2011
