Granite, sandstone and other monumental or building stone

1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers granite, sandstone and other non-calcareous monumental/building stone as quarry blocks or rough-cut blanks at one declared quarry or rough-processing gate. Distinguish integrated extraction from standalone processing of supplied burden-bearing stone. Include actual site development, extraction, cutting/splitting, sorting, storage/loading, water/waste/dust controls and attributable rehabilitation through the gate. Separate granite, sandstone and other stone types by actual quarry and cutting route. Bedding-controlled sandstone extraction and harder-rock sawing do not share a universal density, wire consumption, silica fraction, cutting rate or yield. Subsequent finishing, installation and building-service performance are separate datasets. ifc-construction-2007

Declare all qualifiers in dataset metadata or reference-flow comments. The representative identity is usable only for its confirmed product state, geography and property; resolve a distinct flow for incompatible variants. It does not impose a default product composition.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_basis	final_product	Mass	kg	D is the positive accepted net gate-output total in kg. Exclude packaging and cancelled internal transfers. cp_output records D; every card uses per 1 kg 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	Mass	kg	D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake.

5. System Boundary

Boundary Abstraction

Field	Value
declared_starting_condition	Actual rock deposit for integrated quarrying, or purchased raw stone for standalone rough processing
starting_condition_role	Resource or supplied feed; declare which
product_classification_scope	granite, sandstone and other non-calcareous monumental/building stone as quarry blocks or rough-cut blanks
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/year; geology and extraction method; integrated/standalone start; actual rock type and mineralogy; granite fabric or sandstone bedding/cement; block/slab dimensions; defects; rough-cut state; moisture; actual quartz fraction and dust characterization; loading gate; net mass and stock change; cut/split losses; water source/return; waste fate; allocation; development/closure lifetime-output basis

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
boundary_operations	site	This PCR covers granite, sandstone and other non-calcareous monumental/building stone as quarry blocks or rough-cut blanks at one declared quarry or rough-processing gate. Distinguish integrated extraction from standalone processing of supplied burden-bearing stone. Include actual site development, extraction, cutting/splitting, sorting, storage/loading, water/waste/dust controls and attributable rehabilitation through the gate. Separate granite, sandstone and other stone types by actual quarry and cutting route. Bedding-controlled sandstone extraction and harder-rock sawing do not share a universal density, wire consumption, silica fraction, cutting rate or yield. Subsequent finishing, installation and building-service performance are separate datasets.	ifc-construction-2007
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 extraction, rough cutting/splitting and downstream finishing where possible. Attribute development and closure once by disclosed lifetime accepted output. Retain unallocated inventory for true jointly produced grades or by-products. Scrap sold as aggregate or reused as fill does not automatically gain avoided-product credit; disclose its actual burden and destination.
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.

Calculation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Formula or rule	Inputs	Output	source_ids
normalization	all cards	Exchange = attributable period quantity / D. Reconcile inventories and cancel internal transfers before aggregation.	cp_output; row-specific cp records	per 1 kg reference flow
physical_balance	production	D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake.	Matched mass, volume, composition and stock measurements	Balance residual and uncertainty

Data Quality Requirements

requirement_id	Applies to	Requirement	Evidence
representativeness	dataset	Use matching production and exchange periods, actual technology, geography and supplier state. Record startup, shutdown, seasonal variation and substitutions.	collection records
identity_and_ranges	all cards	Unresolved identities and missing independent range evidence remain explicit. Do not replace measurement by a guessed industry range or by missing-as-zero.	manifest review metadata

9. Validation Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Rule	source_ids
validate_reference	final_product	Verify 1 kg, positive D, product state, property/unit and every required qualifier. Each dataset fixes one product and route.
validate_balance	site	D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake.
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.
