1. Scope and Applicability
Electrical energy supplied at one declared generation net-export gate, storage-discharge gate or transmission/distribution delivery meter, including actual fossil/biogenic fuel or waste combustion, nuclear, hydro/pumped storage, wind, ocean wave/tidal, solar photovoltaic/thermal, geothermal, ambient/waste-heat conversion and electrochemical fuel-cell routes; actual national/regional/supplier portfolios are included with measured source weights. Select one actual technology or documented mix, geography/year, AC/DC form, voltage/frequency and meter interface; these alternatives are not simultaneous mandatory operations. Generation-only ends at net export; delivered electricity includes actual transformation/network losses and infrastructure through that gate. Storage is not primary generation: retain charging electricity, own use, measured losses, stock change, lifetime throughput and actual returned electricity without avoided-grid credits. Record upstream fuel/material production, actual construction/replacement/decommissioning, development/land, water and wastes, direct emissions, outage/standby own use and declared control systems; do not omit infrastructure because operating fuel is absent. Electricity supply is distinct from transmission service sold alone, fuel/heat as reference product, certificates sold alone and consumer equipment manufacture. CHP heat co-products may exist but this PCR reference remains electricity. One representative CN high-voltage AC production-mix identity does not narrow this full category. All other voltage/DC/geography/single-technology/delivery states require compatible identities. Public EPD scope supports the technology list only, not unacquired full-document cutoff/other rules; route-specific data collection below is foreground methodology requiring actual site evidence. epd-electricity-scope, ipcc-stationary-2006, ghg-scope2-2015, epa-chp-output

4. Measurement and Unit Rules
| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| reference_basis | final_product | Net calorific value | MJ | D is the positive accepted net gate-output total in MJ. Exclude packaging and cancelled internal transfers. cp_output records D; every card uses per 1 MJ reference flow. |
| conversion | utility and material rows | Declared row property | kg; m3; MJ | Retain raw readings. Electricity: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Mass/volume conversion requires measured density, temperature and applicable pressure; retain water content and active chemical fraction. |
| category_balance | production | Net calorific value | MJ | D is independently calibrated metered accepted net electrical output MJ at the selected gate, positive after stock reconciliation;1 kWh =3.6 MJ. One dataset uses exactly one generation, storage or delivery output basis; never sum charging, gross generation, net export and delivery as outputs. Generation D equals actual metered net export; gross-minus-own-use may reproduce it only with matched meter boundaries and periods, keeping purchased auxiliaries as separate inputs and not subtracting them twice. Imported/resold electricity and internal transfers are identified independently. A mix uses each actual source contribution on the same net gate basis, with weights summing to1 and source losses/providers documented; do not multiply a source gross-output factor by net shares. Delivered electricity reconciles matched network input, accepted output, other exports, technical losses, theft/meter gaps and stock; input = D/(1-l) only for independently established matching loss fraction0<=l<1 and no unaccounted exports. Storage reconciles measured charging = discharged/other useful exports + measured electrical losses + actual stock increase on the same meter boundary; do not invent roundtrip efficiency, lifetime or avoided generation. Fuel energy is actual consumed mass times matched as-received NCV, or measured volume/density/calorific value at stated conditions; separate electrical MJ from thermal fuel MJ. Gas mass/standard volume conversion requires measured density/reference T/P, not assumed composition. Direct gas emissions use measured species/load or documented compatible activity factors; do not reuse purchased-electricity factors as onsite fuel emissions. Fossil/biogenic CO2, CH4,N2O and captured carbon are distinct; no assumed zero biomass/waste CO2. Useful steam heat = matched steam mass times supplied-minus-return enthalpy; hot-water heat uses actual mass and measured enthalpy difference, not total water mass as energy. Useful CHP heat and electricity stay separate co-products before declared allocation. Lifetime material/infrastructure quantities are assigned once over measured/justified expected accepted electrical throughput with sensitivity, never invented machine mass or output. |
5. System Boundary

| starting_condition_role | Resource or supplied feed; declare which |
| product_classification_scope | Electrical energy from actual generation technologies, portfolios, storage discharge or delivered networks at one declared gate |
| recursive_input_rule | Purchased same-category material carries a distinct supplier dataset; internal recycling is a balance observation, not a new external input or credit. |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Link feed, electricity, fuels, chemicals, infrastructure and waste-management burdens; disclose any missing coverage. |
| disclosure | site/geography/year; actual technology or source portfolio and providers; AC/DC, voltage/frequency, meter locations and calibration; generation gross/net, own-use source and matched net exports; delivery losses/voltage changes or charging/discharging and storage stock; accepted output period and positive D; actual fuel grade/moisture/NCV and fossil/biogenic fractions; heat enthalpy/return state if CHP; cooling withdrawal/return/consumption and basin; direct species/compartments and waste fate; measured construction/replacement/closure lifetime and accepted throughput; allocation and uncertainty; physical mix versus contractual attribute claim and retirement/residual disclosure.

| boundary_partition | all exchanges | Include actual conditioning, storage, handling and pollution controls through the declared gate. Account for attributable construction and closure with a disclosed lifetime-output basis or justified exclusion and sensitivity. Separate purchased fuel supply from foreground combustion and purchased treatment from site releases. | |
| boundary_completeness | inventory | Cards define individual likely exchanges and route conditions, not an exhaustive site audit. Add each actual absent chemical, waste, resource, land transformation and pollutant as its own row. Absence, measured zero and unknown must be distinguished. |

7. Allocation and Co-product Handling
| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
|---|---|---|---|
| allocation_hierarchy | joint production | Prefer process subdivision or defensible system expansion; otherwise use demonstrated physical causality. Use economic allocation only with consistent period, price, currency and sensitivity when physical causality is unavailable. Retain the unallocated inventory. | ef-allocation-2021 |
| allocation_product | reference and co-products | Subdivide actual electricity generation, network transformation/storage and useful heat supply where possible. Retain unallocated CHP/waste-treatment inventories; demonstrate causal allocation or matched economic sensitivity when needed. Electricity and thermal output share only a justified allocation rule, not automatic equal-value MJ. Waste treatment as a service and generated electricity require actual upstream waste-status and burdens; supplied waste is not automatically a free fuel. Certificates do not physically displace grid output or remove infrastructure/fuel-cycle emissions. No automatic avoided-grid, heat, waste-disposal or storage credits; retain actual useful heat quantities separately. | |
| allocation_waste | waste and recycling | Classify each output by physical state and actual fate. A sale does not automatically make a residue a co-product; internal recycling receives no avoided-product credit. Apply treatment burdens once. |

System boundary rules · 3
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
boundary_operations | site | Electrical energy supplied at one declared generation net-export gate, storage-discharge gate or transmission/distribution delivery meter, including actual fossil/biogenic fuel or waste combustion, nuclear, hydro/pumped storage, wind, ocean wave/tidal, solar photovoltaic/thermal, geothermal, ambient/waste-heat conversion and electrochemical fuel-cell routes; actual national/regional/supplier portfolios are included with measured source weights. Select one actual technology or documented mix, geography/year, AC/DC form, voltage/frequency and meter interface; these alternatives are not simultaneous mandatory operations. Generation-only ends at net export; delivered electricity includes actual transformation/network losses and infrastructure through that gate. Storage is not primary generation: retain charging electricity, own use, measured losses, stock change, lifetime throughput and actual returned electricity without avoided-grid credits. Record upstream fuel/material production, actual construction/replacement/decommissioning, development/land, water and wastes, direct emissions, outage/standby own use and declared control systems; do not omit infrastructure because operating fuel is absent. Electricity supply is distinct from transmission service sold alone, fuel/heat as reference product, certificates sold alone and consumer equipment manufacture. CHP heat co-products may exist but this PCR reference remains electricity. One representative CN high-voltage AC production-mix identity does not narrow this full category. All other voltage/DC/geography/single-technology/delivery states require compatible identities. Public EPD scope supports the technology list only, not unacquired full-document cutoff/other rules; route-specific data collection below is foreground methodology requiring actual site evidence. | epd-electricity-scope, ipcc-stationary-2006, ghg-scope2-2015, epa-chp-output |
boundary_partition | all exchanges | Include actual conditioning, storage, handling and pollution controls through the declared gate. Account for attributable construction and closure with a disclosed lifetime-output basis or justified exclusion and sensitivity. Separate purchased fuel supply from foreground combustion and purchased treatment from site releases. | |
boundary_completeness | inventory | Cards define individual likely exchanges and route conditions, not an exhaustive site audit. Add each actual absent chemical, waste, resource, land transformation and pollutant as its own row. Absence, measured zero and unknown must be distinguished. |
Allocation rules · 3
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
allocation_hierarchy | joint production | Prefer process subdivision or defensible system expansion; otherwise use demonstrated physical causality. Use economic allocation only with consistent period, price, currency and sensitivity when physical causality is unavailable. Retain the unallocated inventory. | ef-allocation-2021 |
allocation_product | reference and co-products | Subdivide actual electricity generation, network transformation/storage and useful heat supply where possible. Retain unallocated CHP/waste-treatment inventories; demonstrate causal allocation or matched economic sensitivity when needed. Electricity and thermal output share only a justified allocation rule, not automatic equal-value MJ. Waste treatment as a service and generated electricity require actual upstream waste-status and burdens; supplied waste is not automatically a free fuel. Certificates do not physically displace grid output or remove infrastructure/fuel-cycle emissions. No automatic avoided-grid, heat, waste-disposal or storage credits; retain actual useful heat quantities separately. | |
allocation_waste | waste and recycling | Classify each output by physical state and actual fate. A sale does not automatically make a residue a co-product; internal recycling receives no avoided-product credit. Apply treatment burdens once. |
Validation rules · 3
| Rule ID | Applies to | Rule | Source IDs |
|---|---|---|---|
validate_reference | final_product | Verify 1 MJ, positive D, product state, property/unit and every required qualifier. Each dataset fixes one product and route. | |
validate_balance | site | D is independently calibrated metered accepted net electrical output MJ at the selected gate, positive after stock reconciliation;1 kWh =3.6 MJ. One dataset uses exactly one generation, storage or delivery output basis; never sum charging, gross generation, net export and delivery as outputs. Generation D equals actual metered net export; gross-minus-own-use may reproduce it only with matched meter boundaries and periods, keeping purchased auxiliaries as separate inputs and not subtracting them twice. Imported/resold electricity and internal transfers are identified independently. A mix uses each actual source contribution on the same net gate basis, with weights summing to1 and source losses/providers documented; do not multiply a source gross-output factor by net shares. Delivered electricity reconciles matched network input, accepted output, other exports, technical losses, theft/meter gaps and stock; input = D/(1-l) only for independently established matching loss fraction0<=l<1 and no unaccounted exports. Storage reconciles measured charging = discharged/other useful exports + measured electrical losses + actual stock increase on the same meter boundary; do not invent roundtrip efficiency, lifetime or avoided generation. Fuel energy is actual consumed mass times matched as-received NCV, or measured volume/density/calorific value at stated conditions; separate electrical MJ from thermal fuel MJ. Gas mass/standard volume conversion requires measured density/reference T/P, not assumed composition. Direct gas emissions use measured species/load or documented compatible activity factors; do not reuse purchased-electricity factors as onsite fuel emissions. Fossil/biogenic CO2, CH4,N2O and captured carbon are distinct; no assumed zero biomass/waste CO2. Useful steam heat = matched steam mass times supplied-minus-return enthalpy; hot-water heat uses actual mass and measured enthalpy difference, not total water mass as energy. Useful CHP heat and electricity stay separate co-products before declared allocation. Lifetime material/infrastructure quantities are assigned once over measured/justified expected accepted electrical throughput with sensitivity, never invented machine mass or output. | |
validate_coverage | handoff | Verify each applicable exchange, its provider or environmental compartment and final waste fate; identify skipped checks, unresolved identities, missing measurements and upstream gaps. Errors or unassessed mandatory coverage cannot be labelled complete. |
