Electrical soldering, brazing, welding and electric hot-spraying apparatus

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers manufacture of complete electrical soldering, brazing or welding apparatus and electric machines for hot spraying metals or sintered metal carbides. Include resistance spot/seam/projection/butt and arc welding, transformer/rectifier/inverter architectures, electrical resistance or induction soldering/brazing, and electric wire-arc or plasma thermal spraying within the declared metal/carbide scope. Portable apparatus and configured mechanised/robotic systems retain actual principal function and included components. One model or reference identity does not narrow the category. Other electrical joining architectures require their own primary configuration evidence.

Exclude separately supplied spare parts, independently sold robots/generic converters/cooling plants, non-electrical joining or combustion-only spray/tempering equipment, finished weld/coating services, and customer operation, maintenance or end of life. A handheld spray gun in a complete electric platform does not make that platform a generic hand tool. Hybrid laser/electron-beam/ultrasonic, combustion/electric or combined cutting/joining apparatus require item-specific principal-function/classification review before use. No catalogue mass, current, rated power, duty cycle, efficiency, life or consumable recipe is a factory inventory default.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

rule_id	Rule	source_ids
allocate_burdens	Separate configuration/site/common-period records first. Direct component/operation/test records precede allocation; shared services use a documented causal metered basis only for unassigned residual. Attributable reject/rework/test burden remains; do not dilute with total unrelated plant output.
allocate_scrap	Retained recoverable materials are stock/paired returns; actual external coproducts need explicit allocation/substitution method and compatible output state. Waste transfer receives no automatic avoided-primary-metal credit.

Distinguish retained first-set hardware/fills from consumed media and user lifetime quantities.

Gross heat kg×its own MJ/kg less independent return kg×its own MJ/kg on one datum, deducted once; already-net heat excludes second return deduction. Physical steam/condensate mass is separate from energy; upstream heat provider boiler excluded from onsite fuel.	native unit	each actual batch and matched meter interval	one common production period	same declared configuration and sites	per 1 kg reference flow	calibration; original receipts; own assays; acceptance/BOM; uncertainty

cp_wastes	residues	each actual waste stream	foreground_record	gross Qattr; own water/element/chemical assays; stocks/internal returns/recovery; actual external transfer/provider and treatment	Use weighed transfer manifests and own stream samples; whole sludge/alloy/wastewater differs from contained species.

Element/species assay is distinct from gross dust/oxide; prevent overlapping total PM/component emissions.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalize_period	all inventory rows	For one configuration and period divide each attributable native-unit exchange total by the sum of accepted configured-apparatus net masses; keep raw amounts, units and uncertainty.	Qattr; Dnet; cp_mass	native-unit amount per kg reference flow

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
quality_qnd	all inventory rows	Qattr includes attributable reject/rework/test burdens for one configuration and common period; Naccepted counts accepted apparatus whose masses form Dnet. Per-item exchange=Qattr/Naccepted; measured mean net mass=Dnet/Naccepted; per-kg exchange=Qattr/Dnet. Count conversion uses measured same-configuration mean mass, never rated output/current/duty-cycle or catalogue machine weight.	calibrated net masses and acceptance ledger
quality_physical	all inventory rows	Each element/species term uses its own gross mass and own assay/moisture/wet-dry basis, stocks, reactions, retained product, returns and waste. Gross alloy/sludge is not contained element. Each water stream uses own water fraction and measured/documented density at actual temperature, reactions/retention/evaporation/discharge/stocks; pair and cancel internal returns.	stream-specific assay and stock/reaction records
quality_solvent	ipa; spentipa; ipair	Reconcile own IPA assay in inputs, stocks, retained product, recovery/capture, wastewater/spent media, destruction and independently measured air. Capture is not destruction and non-air fates never become air residual.	independent fate measurements and assays
quality_identity	all inventory rows	Match state/type, native reference property/unit, metal/polymer/chemical/species, completed supplied state, provider/geography and elementary compartment. Add every actual unlisted transport service, copper tube, coil brazing alloy, core insulation/hardener, electronics/powder feeder, filled refrigerant, powder metal, test media, gas, waste or emission as a separately queried measured atomic row. Missing differs from zero; absence requires proof.	original supplier/BOM and disclosed identity gaps
quality_scope	reference product	Unobserved resistance seam/projection/butt, resistance/induction soldering, robotic and other electric joining variants need item-specific primary architecture. A replacement parts list never proves shipped accessories; optional cooler does not imply compressor or glycol; electric spray system with handheld gun remains reviewed whole-system scope. Examples do not imply universal recipe, alloy, operating lifetime or factory load.	primary configuration and semantic review

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Rule	source_ids
validate_scope	Require actual electrical principal joining/hot-spray function and full supplied BOM. Reject one spare torch/core/robot, non-electrical apparatus or coated output as complete reference. Both languages use the same one-kg net reference and native numerator.	un-cpc3
validate_interfaces	Reject duplicated bought-module manufacture, unpaired internal returns, assumed accessory/fill inclusion and customer lifetime operation presented as factory loads; retain actual attributable factory test rejects/rework.	fronius-inverter; telwin-resistance; hakko-spec; metco-equipment
validate_balances	Require own-stream element/water/solvent balances and measured post-control species concentration × matched flow/time/state plus independent fugitives. Reconcile utilities common-period imports/actual generation/exports/storage and assigned process loads; only unassigned residual shared services. Gross heat deducts independently measured return on same datum once; already-net heat never deducts twice.
validate_completeness	NOx as NO2-equivalent differs from molecular NO2; gross metal oxide/fume differs from contained elemental species and PM must not overlap constituent reporting. State20, wrong reference property/compartment and unqueried identities are unavailable. Report accepted input, performed/skipped checks, findings, missing evidence and completeness.
