1. Scope and Applicability
This PCR covers complete other non-electric instantaneous or storage water heaters in their declared supplied configuration. Gas-fired instantaneous and storage designs are distinct; actual oil/other-fuel or indirect heat configurations require their own function, heat-source interface and supply-list evidence. Electric ignition, controls, fans and pumps can be auxiliary components of a non-electric heating architecture. A generic tank, exchanger, burner or solar-ready tank is not automatically a complete category output. Mass normalizes manufacture and does not make unlike water-heating services equivalent. Sources: un-cpc-44827; wco-hs2022; rinnai-condensing; bw-gas-storage; bw-indirect; bock-oil.
CPC 3.0 44827 explicitly references HS 2022 8419.11 (instantaneous gas) and 8419.19 (other); solar water heaters are 44826/8419.12, electric heaters 44817 and central boilers 44825. HS84.19 places non-electric instantaneous/storage water heaters in a separate phrase after a semicolon from general non-domestic thermal machinery. The CPC domestic parent heading cannot on its own prove domestic-only coverage of every HS-linked item. Declare domestic/commercial/industrial intended function and review doubtful industrial/multi-service hybrids, boiler combinations, generic indirect tanks and separate heat exchange units/parts against their actual supply state.
Rinnai documents a condensing tankless gas appliance with included isolation/relief kit and distinct installer-supplied venting. Bradford White gas storage documents enamel lining, anode, foam and convertible gas control, while its indirect model documents a glass-coated carbon-steel coil and boiler supply/return without asserting a burner. Bock oil storage documentation lists a shipping weight excluding burner/controls, so completion of the supplied heater must be checked. These are contrasting product facts, not one universal gas-model recipe. Separately supplied components and STIEBEL solar-ready hybrid tanks are adjacent counterexamples (stiebel-hybrid-adjacent); Rheem solar/boosted units are adjacent rather than automatic other-heater identity (rheem-solar-adjacent). Catalogue capacity, nominal fuel input, shipping weight, efficiency, warranty, lifetime and temperatures are not factory production defaults.
2. Product Category Identity

|---|---|
| canonical_pcr_id | pcr.metal-products-machinery-and-equipment.special-purpose-machinery.other-non-electric-water-heaters |
| classification_refs | CPC 3.0:44827; HS 2022:8419.11,8419.19 |
| covered_products | Complete other non-electric instantaneous/storage heaters; actual gas/storage/other-fuel/indirect configurations subject to principal-function and supplied-state review |
| excluded_products | Solar/electric water heating, central heating boilers, separate tank/exchanger/burner/parts as complete output; industrial multifunction boundary unresolved until review |
| representative_product | One declared complete accepted configuration, not one gas model universalized |
| production_route | Actual make/buy vessel/exchanger/burner/controls/lining/insulation/integration and factory test route |
| market_state | Complete accepted factory supply list including separately boxed included accessories and actual retained fill; installation-only supplies excluded |
3. Reference Flow
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| What | Supply a complete non-electric water heater, not consumer hot-water service |
| How much | 1 kg accepted net complete machine mass of the same configuration |
| How well | Meets actual hydraulic, combustion, pressure, leak, safety and declared acceptance requirements |
| How long or cycle | One manufacturing/delivery period; no default lifetime |
| reference_flow_link | reference_product |
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Reference amount | 1 |
| Reference product flow | Other non-electric water heaters 5df9cf00-65b4-4cb5-b2b9-46664241c680 |
| Reference flow property | Mass 93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66 |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass 93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66 |
| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | principal function and domestic/commercial/industrial market; actual classification/supply boundary; model/revision; instantaneous/storage; actual gas/fuel/indirect source; condensing/non-condensing; tank/coil/burner make-buy; corrosion lining/anode/insulation formulation; vent/fan/controls; included vs installer accessories; actual retained fill; pressure/leak/burner/electrical factory acceptance; calibrated net mass/common-period accepted N; providers/geography/voltage/units; species/compartment and uncertainty |
Declare every qualifier in the package; complete-category reference identity matched, but actual supplied state/principal function still requires verification. Mass does not establish equivalent user heat service.
4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
reference_mass | reference product | Mass | kg | M = accepted net mass of one complete machine of the same configuration in kg; collect using cp_mass. |
physical_basis | material/water/species | Mass | kg | Each term uses its own assay, moisture, wet/dry basis, measured temperature/density, stocks and reactions; gross mass is not contained element. |
gas_state | test gas | Volume | m3 | Declare meter reference state and actual T/P/humidity; mass/volume conversion uses actual composition/density, never power-plant case factors. |
energy_interface | energy | Delivered energy | MJ | Electricity 1 kWh=3.6 MJ. Heat supply mass times own enthalpy minus independent return mass times own enthalpy/common datum; gross subtract return once, already-net never twice. |
5. System Boundary
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
gate | foreground | Include receipt, actual site fabrication/corrosion/insulation, integration, factory acceptance/rework, services, wastes and packing to accepted release. | rinnai-condensing; bw-gas-storage; bw-indirect; bock-oil |
make_buy | supplier_interface | Bought complete tank/burner/exchanger/controller embeds its upstream materials and operations once. Own fabrication uses feedstocks and actual operations instead. Partial supplied modules disclose remaining work. Pair internal transfers and count each burden once. | rinnai-condensing; bw-gas-storage; bw-indirect; bock-oil |
factory_use | production | Include actual factory hydrostatic/leak and burner/function test water, gas/oil/electricity and losses; separate retained shipped fills and accessories. User fuel/hot water, installation vent/pipe/commissioning and use-phase condensate are outside factory production. Manufacturer installer instructions do not prove factory test amounts. | |
bom_extension | route | Atomic cards are conditional anchors, not a universal recipe. Add each actual grade, coating ingredient, foam precursor/blowing agent, weld gas, fuel, accessory, fill, waste and emitted species; require actual formulation/assay and route. not_applicable requires absence evidence; unknown is not zero. | |
upstream | links | Actual upstream production/transport and external treatment links need supplied state/geography/period. Supplier boiler fuel embedded in purchased heat is not onsite combustion; no complete cradle-to-gate claim before missing providers are resolved. |
Boundary Abstraction
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| declared_starting_condition | Actual input grade/completed state and supplier delivery interface |
| starting_condition_role | Factory receipt boundary |
| product_classification_scope | Complete other non-electric water heater, actual principal function and supplied state reviewed |
| recursive_input_rule | Same-category bought precursor upstream once; subsequent site work only; paired internal transfers cancel |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Actual grade/formulation/state/provider/geography/period; link complete bought units without expanding embedded material twice |
| disclosure | make-buy; complete supply list; site process; test fuel/water; retained fill; installer exclusions; classification gaps; denominator/uncertainty |
Architecture and supplied-state matrix
| Configuration | Actual fabrication/integration | Limits |
|---|---|---|
| Gas instantaneous | Actual burner, exchanger, ignition, gas valve, sensing, vent/fan and conditional condensate path | No storage tank imposed; condensing and non-condensing need actual metallurgy and architecture |
| Gas storage | Actual vessel/flue, lining, anode, insulation, jacket, burner and controls | Manufactured-home roof-jack source is a specific configuration, not default supplied kit |
| Oil/other-fuel | Actual supplied burner/fuel pump/combustion interface and vessel/exchanger; add each real fuel/species | Bock shipping weight excludes burner/controls; use weighed complete supply state; other-fuel recipe unresolved |
| Indirect/hybrid | Actual heating coil and external heat supply/return, tank and controls; actual backup declared | Generic coil tank, separate exchanger, central boiler and solar-ready/electric backup hybrids need classification review; no compulsory onsite burner |

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
causal | site | Separate configurations and subdivisions first; allocate common residual by measured causal load, operating time or appropriate physical driver, retain numerator and denominator records and uncertainty. Do not average unrelated non-electric heater configurations or use heater mass automatically for every utility. | |
rejects | accepted | Include actual rejects, rework and qualification burdens in attributable Q for accepted output; only accepted net mass/count enters denominator. Segregate recycling transfer and treatment; do not assume avoided-product credits or zero upstream recycled burden. |
8. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules
Data Collection Protocols
| protocol_id | process_id | flow_role | record_type | raw_fields | collection_method | unit | frequency | temporal_coverage | site_scope | aggregation_rule | quality_evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cp_mass | dispatch | reference product | weighing | model; configuration; serial number; accepted net mass M | Weigh the accepted complete machine on a calibrated scale, excluding transport packaging; reconcile the same configuration and acceptance record. | kg | each accepted lot | common manufacturing period | same configuration/site | accepted net mass per machine | calibration/tare/included accessories/acceptance |
| cp_material | all | actual inputs | meter_issue | specific species/grade; supplied state; native unit; gas actual T/P/humidity and meter reference state; issue; each moisture/density/assay; make/buy; stocks; Q; N | Reconcile each exchange metering/stores/recipe and paired returns in common period; Q includes rejects/rework and each term own assay. | kg; m3 | each batch or continuous meter | common manufacturing period | same configuration/site and supplier | attributable quantity / accepted machines | grade/composition tests/meters/stocks |
| cp_energy | all | electricity and heat | meter | process meters; gross imports; actual generation; exports; storage; each supply/return steam mass pressure temperature enthalpy; net invoice; Q; N | Reconcile process meters in same period/units; shared services only unassigned residual, investigate negative residual. Each steam supply/return uses own kg and MJ/kg/common zero, return deducted once. | MJ | continuous meters/each test | common manufacturing period | same configuration/site | attributable energy / accepted machines | calibrated meters/delivery interface/thermodynamics/allocation uncertainty |
| cp_waste | all | specific waste | transfer | each stream mass and own moisture/assay; beginning/end stocks; internal return; external treatment; Q; N | Weigh/sample treatment transfers, distinguish return/reuse/recycling/disposal without assumed substitution credit. | kg | each transfer lot | common manufacturing period | same configuration/site and treatment interface | attributable waste / accepted machines | waste tickets/sampling/stocks |
| cp_emission | all | specific species/compartment | species_measurement | actual species/compartment; concentration; exhaust or liquid flow; wet/dry temperature/pressure; capture/destruction; own assays; Q; N | Use matched species/compartment measured or verified actual technology factors; investigate closure, capture not destruction, residual not air emission. | kg | actual tests/emission periods | common manufacturing period | same configuration/site boundary | attributable emission / accepted machines | sampling/flow/combined uncertainty |
Raw-period protocol: N is accepted count of the same configuration, D the sum of calibrated accepted net masses, M=D/N. Each Q is the attributable common-period exchange including reject, rework and factory-test burden; first q_item=Q/N then q_ref=Q/D. Packaging/reject mass stays out of D. Retain actual original units, own composition, stocks and reaction records.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| complete_bom | actual configuration | Cover all actual exchanges; separate make/buy/accessories/fills/test charges; gaps explicit | actual BOM/routes/suppliers |
| mass_period | cohort | Same configuration/period/acceptance, calibrated mass/stocks; no cross-configuration mean | calibration/period ledger |
| balance_uncertainty | physical balances | Own water fraction/density/assay/reactions/paired returns; compare combined uncertainty | measurement/sampling/reaction/allocation evidence |
| cohort_raw | common-period records | Naccepted, Dnet and Qattr share configuration/period. Dnet sums calibrated accepted net masses; M=Dnet/Naccepted, q_item=Qattr/Naccepted, q_ref=Qattr/Dnet. Qattr includes rejects/rework/factory tests; Dnet excludes packing/rejects/consumed test media; preserve each native numerator unit. | actual period/calibrated acceptance ledger |
| species_sampling | air or liquid releases | Post-control species concentration times matched same-period gas/liquid flow or integrated duration; correct temperature/pressure/wet-dry/units; fugitives independently measured. Carbon closure cannot derive CO/NOx; NO2 not NOx-equivalent. | actual sampling/flow/period/state records |
| provider_gaps | links | Each actual upstream/treatment matches state/geography/period; unverified not complete footprint | direct records/substitution disclosure |
9. Validation Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
identity | dataset | Confirm principal function, intended market, model/revision, delivered configuration and activated architecture. Every actual exchange needs matching identity/property/unit/provider; absent, zero and unknown remain distinct. | |
denominator | all inventory rows | All inventory uses the same accepted cohort and common period. Verify calibrated accepted net mass and N; reject and packaging mass excluded. Check q_item=Q/N then normalization by same mean M; mixed configurations are invalid. | |
double_count | make_buy | Reconcile complete bought modules versus own materials and operations, retained fills/accessories versus factory consumption, paired internal transfers and external inputs. Count each actual burden once. | |
water_close | physical water records | For each term use its own measured water fraction, density and wet/dry basis: fresh and input moisture plus reaction water and beginning stocks minus final stocks, retained product, discharge and evaporation; internal returns cancel paired. Investigate measured closure against combined sampling/meter/allocation uncertainty; no universal tolerance. | |
species_close | material and chemical records | Close each contained metal/chemical separately using each input, product, scrap, sludge, liquid and release own matched assay and dry/wet basis, reaction stoichiometry and stocks. Gross mass is not contained element. No all-inventory mass rule applies to energy or transport. | |
solvent_close | solvent records | Distinguish retained solvent, recovered return, captured liquid/media, demonstrated destruction, wastewater/non-air residual and actual species air release. Capture is not destruction; an unexplained residual must be investigated, not assigned to air. | |
utility_close | energy records | Reconcile purchased imports, actual on-site generation, exports and storage changes with assigned fabrication/integration/test/dispatch loads in the same period and units. Shared row ONLY unassigned residual; investigate negative residual against period, unit and combined measurement uncertainty without clipping. | |
steam_close | steam and condensate | Use supply kg times supply own MJ/kg and return kg times return own MJ/kg at measured pressure/temperature relative to common zero. If gross supply, subtract return once; if already-net invoice, do not subtract again. Keep physical steam/condensate mass balance independent from energy. | |
species_emissions | air releases | Validate every emitted species and compartment independently. Fuel carbon balance cannot alone establish CO or NOx. NO2 mass is not NOx reported as NO2 equivalent; keep reporting conventions and actual species identities distinct. |

System boundary rules · 5
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
gate | foreground | Include receipt, actual site fabrication/corrosion/insulation, integration, factory acceptance/rework, services, wastes and packing to accepted release. | rinnai-condensing, bw-gas-storage, bw-indirect, bock-oil |
make_buy | supplier_interface | Bought complete tank/burner/exchanger/controller embeds its upstream materials and operations once. Own fabrication uses feedstocks and actual operations instead. Partial supplied modules disclose remaining work. Pair internal transfers and count each burden once. | rinnai-condensing, bw-gas-storage, bw-indirect, bock-oil |
factory_use | production | Include actual factory hydrostatic/leak and burner/function test water, gas/oil/electricity and losses; separate retained shipped fills and accessories. User fuel/hot water, installation vent/pipe/commissioning and use-phase condensate are outside factory production. Manufacturer installer instructions do not prove factory test amounts. | |
bom_extension | route | Atomic cards are conditional anchors, not a universal recipe. Add each actual grade, coating ingredient, foam precursor/blowing agent, weld gas, fuel, accessory, fill, waste and emitted species; require actual formulation/assay and route. not_applicable requires absence evidence; unknown is not zero. | |
upstream | links | Actual upstream production/transport and external treatment links need supplied state/geography/period. Supplier boiler fuel embedded in purchased heat is not onsite combustion; no complete cradle-to-gate claim before missing providers are resolved. |
Allocation rules · 2
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
causal | site | Separate configurations and subdivisions first; allocate common residual by measured causal load, operating time or appropriate physical driver, retain numerator and denominator records and uncertainty. Do not average unrelated non-electric heater configurations or use heater mass automatically for every utility. | |
rejects | accepted | Include actual rejects, rework and qualification burdens in attributable Q for accepted output; only accepted net mass/count enters denominator. Segregate recycling transfer and treatment; do not assume avoided-product credits or zero upstream recycled burden. |
