1. Scope and Applicability
This candidate covers new complete self-propelled graders and levellers whose principal function is grading/levelling earth, minerals or ores. It retains the full category, including verified configurations beyond a conventional motor grader. A towing tractor plus towed leveller, separately sold blade/attachment/part, bulldozer, scraper, roller, loader or excavator is outside this complete-product scope. A host with a temporary levelling attachment is not automatically a grader. Hybrid or ambiguous machines require principal-function and completion review. Later field service, moved soil, operation, maintenance and end-of-life are separate. Sources: un-cpc3-graders; deere-g-series; komatsu-gd675.
Deere documents welded box mainframe/drawbar, welded heat-treated circle with standard/premium bearing alternatives, high-carbon-steel moldboard and direct-drive transmission. Komatsu independently documents a rolled-ring-forged circle, formed/welded drawbar and torque-converter/lock-up powershift alternative. These are architecture examples, not a universal BOM or factory process. Do not infer an all-wheel-drive, electric or battery route without its own shipped BOM. Manufacturer operating masses include full fuel and operator; none is adopted as accepted net mass. Service refill capacity, blade pull, rated engine power, marketing savings, refrigerant nominal charge and field productivity do not quantify factory consumption.

|---|---|
| What | Manufacture of declared complete grader/leveller configuration, not field grading service |
| How much | 1 kg accepted complete machine of same configuration |

| native_basis | each exchange | Mass; Number of items; Net calorific value | kg; Item(s); MJ | Retain each native numerator: engine items are complete supplied units, never inferred engine mass; 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ; litres convert by actual own density/temperature only when needed. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| fabrication | Frame, drawbar and levelling-equipment fabrication | conditional | Actual work order and physical boundary; bought completed operations stay upstream | foreground | 1 kg reference flow |

Cards are conditional atomic exchanges, not a universal recipe. Each actual additional grade, separate circle/gear/torque-converter/valve/cutting-edge/wheel-rim/ripper/sensor, welding gas, heat-treatment medium, abrasive, solvent, DEF formulation, waste or emission species must have its own qualified row and collection record. Unknown is not zero; not_applicable requires physical absence evidence. OEM examples cannot establish factory grades, purchased quantities, tests or make/buy choices.

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|
| allocation_direct | Assign measured work-order exchanges directly to configuration; split shared causally using measured machine-hours/work/orders where justified. State driver, scope, uncertainty and alternatives; no universal mass or value allocation factor. | |
| allocation_rework | Keep attributable reject/rework/test burden with accepted output; rejected product and consumed test medium are not accepted denominator. Waste outputs receive no automatic substitution credit; disclose recovery boundary. |

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 |
Data Quality Requirements
| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| quality_denominator | reference and inventory | For one configuration/common period Qattr includes attributable reject/rework/test burdens; Naccepted is accepted complete count; Dnet sums calibrated accepted net masses; M = Dnet/Naccepted; q_item = Qattr/Naccepted; q_ref = Qattr/Dnet. Exclude packaging, operator, rejected units, consumed test load/media and other configurations from Dnet; reconcile WIP and stocks. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_make_buy | each BOM item | Reconcile actual part number, delivered completion/grade/assay, provider and make/buy. Bought engine/cab/axle/blade embeds supplier materials/processes/fills once; partial parts record remaining actual operations. Pair/cancel internal transfers and reconcile accepted retained BOM plus scrap, rework, returns and stocks; no invented material shares. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_fills | first fill and tests | Each fuel/oil/coolant/refrigerant/DEF identity reconciles own incoming mass/volume, supplier embedded prefill, opening/closing stocks, retained delivery, measured factory consumption, recovered/drained material and release. Retained delivery and burned test fuel are distinct fates; never apply service refill capacity as actual factory charge. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_utilities | meters and shared services | Same-period imports plus actual on-site generation minus exports/storage changes reconcile assigned fabrication/treatment/assembly/test/dispatch, evidenced conversion losses and unassigned residual. Shared rows only allocate the residual; never add total meters to subprocess meters or clip negative residuals. Investigate period/unit/calibration/allocation uncertainty. Internal energy transfers cancel; supplier boiler fuel is not fictional on-site combustion. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_water | each physical water stream | Each stream uses own measured gross mass, water fraction and documented density at actual temperature if collected by volume. Reconcile input moisture/process/coolant water with retained water, wet scrap/sludge, wastewater, evaporation, stocks and reaction water production/consumption. Paired returns cancel; investigate combined sampling/measurement uncertainty, no universal tolerance. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_species | each material and emission species | Each element/species term uses its own gross mass and own assay/concentration, wet/dry basis, stocks, reaction and returns. Gross steel/sludge is not contained iron/carbon. Solvent retention, recovery, capture-media/wastewater and actual destruction are distinct non-air fates; an unexplained residual never becomes air. Species-specific post-control concentration times matched gas/liquid flow over same period needs actual state/unit corrections and independent fugitive evidence. Carbon closure cannot derive CO/NOx; molecular NO2 differs from NOx as NO2 equivalent. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
| quality_identity | each exchange | Declare actual collected/calculated/not_applicable/unknown/missing status and each identity/source/range gap. Match type, supplied state, chemistry/CAS, classification, native property/unit and exact official bilingual name; generic label does not prove grade. No universal mass, recipe, loss, factor or service life. | Actual same-period BOM, meters, calibrated weighing, assays, stocks, work orders and supplier evidence |
