1. Scope and Applicability

Applies to extruded fired bare insulating bricks based on natural clay-bearing moler diatomaceous earth with actual wood-sawdust pore burnout and actual limestone when required by the formulation; from real raw supply to first final quality release with separately recorded original-cohort storage/packing services. The EPD industrial route and manufacturer terminal information support a transparent industrial LCA technical synthesis; no single-SKU common-factory recipe or one-order proof of every condition is claimed.

Excludes quartz/quartzite silica bricks ordinary clay building bricks high-alumina or magnesia refractories alumina chemical crucibles glazed sanitaryware tableware ornamental/electrical ceramics grinding media glass mineral powders diatomite filter aid unfired adobe phosphate-modified patent routes and vermiculite/calcium-silicate boards. Other siliceous earths or shaping/material routes require actual phase manufacturing and terminal evidence; a CPC leaf or later 37320 label does not establish a duplicate PCR.

Reference unit	kg
Required qualifiers	moler geological origin and natural clay/opaline skeleton composition; actual whole supply forms and moisture assays; wood species origin and pore-former carbon/ash; limestone presence assay and carbonate conversion; extrusion cut geometry and machining state; actual drying burnout firing cooling route and atmosphere; thermal mechanical dimensional acceptance method and grade; first final release cohort IDs and dry bare net mass Q; reference flow family native restrictions and classification discrepancy; raw WIP stores inherited per-exchange burden vectors; released FG dispatch return and observed cohort-service horizon; utility supplier geography voltage fuel state heat/carrier conventions; atomic gas species phases and independent mass/element evidence; disjoint packaging and physical capital/fluid stocks; single attribution and normalization with uncertainty disclosure

Declare every qualifier in dataset metadata the full reference-flow description or process notes. The adopted reference-family restrictions bind both this reference object and the finished_brick consumer card. Native Product flow is production mix at plant; no geography CAS grade or single silica phase is fixed. Its complete definition includes high-temperature fired silica-based bricks with thermal-shock/structural stability. Adopt only the actual fired machined opaline-diatom/clay backup-insulation brick supported by the cited manufacturer terminal, not any unfired powder ordinary clay building brick dense quartz silica brick or generic purchased article. Native classification says other than siliceous earths (37320), inconsistent with the broad silica-inclusive material definition; disclose this classification discrepancy without treating it as acceptance or using it to waive a hard material/phase/route/type conflict. Actual grade performance and provider compatibility require separate evidence.

4. Measurement and Unit Rules

rule_id	Applies to	Required property	Required unit	Rule
reference_mass	reference product	Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`	kg	Collect Q independently with cp_release as unique first-release dry bare net brick mass. Packaging unreleased WIP dispatch and reinspection are not new Q; released closing FG is already in Q and cannot be subtracted from manufacture or output again.
native_units	all inventory rows	each exchange native extensive property	the row native unit	Preserve each row Mass/kg Energy/kWh or MJ native volume/m3 or count/item. Required Mass/kg cannot overwrite other properties. Count-to-mass requires calibrated measured net mass for that actual configuration; do not infer it from density or secondary properties.
one_basis	all inventory rows	actual numerator unit	row native unit	All manufacture rows and internal transfers use the same Q. Service increments use original Qc and observed H. Raw collection is undivided; single_quotient divides once only. Q0 retains burdens without a unit result.

b_service	service	Maintain actual post-release services in original cohort Qc and observed H; do not reverse manufacture or create Q on return reinspection or dispatch. Physical FG uses actual-state masses: opening plus first-release bodies at their actual FG state plus actual returns plus actual added water/material equals closing plus gross dispatch plus destruction plus other identified physical exits including evaporation and processing loss. Keep the separate dry reference-Q ledger; never insert dry Q into a wet physical bridge without its independently measured water account.

Inputs

Product flows

Raw moler clay-bearing diatomaceous earth (`moler`)

Receive the complete natural clay-bearing diatomaceous material in its actual wet or dry supply state; crushing screening mixing and storage are foreground operations. Opaline diatom skeletons and naturally accompanying montmorillonitic clay are constituent subaccounts; do not buy them again as separate inputs. Native pure silica resources or calcined filter aid are not this supplied formulation.

Untreated wood sawdust for pore formation (`sawdust`)

Weigh the whole purchased untreated wood sawdust with actual species origin moisture ash and particle-size evidence. Its burnout creates pores; it is not a free energy credit. If supplied as waste rather than Product, change the actual flow type and boundary explicitly without adding a second copy.

Quantify actual decarbonation and retained calcium independently; do not infer complete decomposition or a fixed recipe from the EPD composition range. Native Product limestone uses Mass/kg; composition purity grade extraction route geography and provider are unspecified. Adopt whole actual stone only with independent carbonate/moisture/impurity assays; not precipitated pure CaCO3 or native-ground elementary resource.

System boundary rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`b_route`	manufacture	Collect actual raw moler with its natural clay plus whole sawdust and actual limestone from received supply through preparation conditioning extrusion cutting drying burnout firing cooling machining inspection and first release. Fired finished bricks purchased merely for packing cannot stand in for manufacturing.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, skamol-ceramic-brochure, jrc-ceramic-bref-2007
`b_cohort`	quantity	Q is the sum of unique first-release dry bare net brick masses including already released closing FG. Manufacturing Bclose excludes released FG and includes only raw/WIP/unassigned non-WIP stores with inherited exchange vectors. Preserve all failed zero-output start-stop idle cleanup and rework burdens.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`b_service`	service	Maintain actual post-release services in original cohort Qc and observed H; do not reverse manufacture or create Q on return reinspection or dispatch. Physical FG uses actual-state masses: opening plus first-release bodies at their actual FG state plus actual returns plus actual added water/material equals closing plus gross dispatch plus destruction plus other identified physical exits including evaporation and processing loss. Keep the separate dry reference-Q ledger; never insert dry Q into a wet physical bridge without its independently measured water account. Consolidation cancels internal reference hand-offs.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`b_complete`	all exchanges	Each card is one exchange. Add any actually used chemical whole formulation fuel carrier packaging waste or emitted species absent from this map as its own card before dataset acceptance. A conditional absence requires evidence; unknown is never zero. Upstream providers and embedded ingredients are charged once; internal heat water and scrap loops cancel only matching transfers.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ceramic-bref-2007
`b_gates`	physical boundary	Keep manufacture FG-service and consolidated whole-mass and relevant-element balances independent from burden allocation. No economic fraction shrinks gross shipments returns packaging assets or fluids. Actual water free structural reaction and phase states and supplier carrier mass/enthalpy returns are required; no presumed boiler steam or zero effluent.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ceramic-bref-2007

Allocation rules · 5

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`allocation_rule_1`	foreground_burden_allocation	These rules apply to attributional modelling where allocation is required; they do not claim every ILCD decision context or default system expansion. Industrial manufacture evidence alone does not justify LCA allocation.
`a_hierarchy`	multifunctional process	For attributional data requiring allocation first separate dedicated operations and use evidenced physical or virtual subdivision. For the remaining common process establish exchange-specific determining physical causality: show how changes of each cofunction determine each input/output; mass heat time area or volume are not interchangeable menu defaults.	jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`a_residual`	residual common process	Only where no defensible determining physical relationship remains use contemporaneous representative market values at the same actual common-process exit/entry gate and state including moisture grade quality packaging and quantities. Document prices periods uncertainty rejected causal alternatives and reconcile allocated burden sums. No fixed share automatic substitution credit or downstream finished price for an upstream wet residue.	jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`a_stocks`	stocks and returns	Apply attribution to burdens after independently measured raw unit conversions and stock vectors; keep physical mass and species intact. Internal green offcuts recovered heat and reusable pallets do not become automatic coproducts. Waste treatment and genuine cofunctions require actual destination and value/boundary evidence.	jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010, skamol-moler-epd-2023
`asset_manufacture_conservation`	existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution	Within the applicable allocation decision context, original manufacture burden attributed across uses of actual capital equipment or reusable articles already included in foreground production, packaging or observed services uses one persistent same-asset ledger across all crops, products, cohorts, manufacturing/postrelease services, owners and observation periods. D is its supported whole installed service: all realized historical service plus supported remaining service in the same units as actual beneficiary use u; D must be finite and positive. Period capacity, remaining-only capacity, the physical asset/article mass alone, or current-period product Q alone is not D; supported whole-service throughput in mass units may be used when it demonstrates the causal service and matches u. This does not amortize the manufactured reference product over downstream life or change its declared reference gate/Q. The fractions u/D and all previously assigned manufacture shares together must never exceed 1. Changes of window, custody, provider or repair never restart the original manufacture balance. Replacements have distinct identities and only their real new manufacture vectors; actual repair and treatment increments remain separately accounted. Revised capacity evidence requires transparent reconciliation of prior shares and sensitivity, not a fresh ledger. Keep full physical mass and stock movements independent of burden shares. Unknown D, prior shares or beneficiary coverage requires review and no final manufacture-attributed amount; no assumed lifetime, utilization, zero or arbitrary division is permitted. For each existing collection protocol that attributes manufacture of included production, packaging or observed-service assets across uses in this route (excluding amortization of the manufactured reference product itself), additionally retain a durable asset identity, its measured full physical mass and acquisition/installation/retirement stock history, original manufacture burden vector, all historical and current beneficiaries, matched-unit service readings, the evidenced whole installed-service denominator D, supported remaining-service basis and uncertainty, prior assigned shares and remaining original manufacture balance. Carry the ledger across reporting windows and custody/provider changes. Collect actual repair, replacement, recovery and treatment separately; these records do not normalize physical movements or create an additional asset purchase. These are added fields and conservation obligations for the existing applicable protocols, not a new assumed capital inventory.

Validation rules · 7

Rule ID	Applies to	Rule	Source IDs
`v_identity`	dataset	Verify fired opaline diatom-earth/clay brick terminal and all native card restrictions against actual route composition state type property unit and supplier. The reference family includes fired silica-based bricks but its external classification excludes siliceous earths; this discrepancy never creates an accepted classification edge and cannot waive any physical incompatibility.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, skamol-ceramic-brochure
`v_quantity`	all stages	Reconcile unique Q first releases including released closing FG; no extra FG output or manufacturing FG subtraction. Record every inherited raw/WIP/store vector and actual failed/rework load before one quotient. Q=0 retains loads without unit results. Retesting and shipment are not production.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`v_species`	physical gates	Reconcile independent whole mass and C H O N S Ca Si Al Cl F where present at manufacture service and consolidated gates. Resolve real oxidation carbonate conversion clay dehydroxylation opal water and free/adsorbed moisture with independent measurements. One residual cannot determine two unknowns; neither loss-on-ignition nor shrinkage defines molecular gas mass.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, skamol-ceramic-brochure, jrc-ceramic-bref-2007
`v_utilities`	utilities	Use each row native extensive property; Mass/kg does not apply to kWh MJ or m3. Integrated volumes are not multiplied by time again; actual rates alone are integrated. Independent density composition pressure temperature and calorimetry establish conversions and carrier mass/heat subaccounts. Do not charge a whole provider and its fuel or water twice.	jrc-ceramic-bref-2007
`v_stocks`	packaging assets and FG	For every packaging configuration reconcile all disjoint opening and closing empty WIP-attached FG-attached reusable pools plus purchases attached inbound external returns received against gross shipments external returns out and waste. Physical capital new/used stocks actual replacements wear retired articles and in-service fluids have separate material/state balances and actual period service attribution without an invented life.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`v_evidence`	sources and completeness	Confirm full source context and neighboring counterexamples. EPD composition/packaging percentages LCIA cutoffs RSL densities and old site totals are not factory defaults; BREF silica/high-alumina thermal tables and chromium figure are not moler data. Unknown species native identity or inherited history remains explicit and blocks dependent numerical results.	skamol-moler-epd-2023, skamol-ceramic-brochure, jrc-ceramic-bref-2007, jrc-ilcd-allocation-2010
`validate_asset_manufacture_conservation`	existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution	For every included capital/reusable manufacture attribution verify same-asset continuity, whole installed service in matched units, all historical/current beneficiaries, prior assigned manufacture shares and cumulative share <= 1. Reject a reset by period, cohort, provider, owner or repair. Check distinct real replacement and incremental repair/treatment vectors separately and preserve gross physical mass. A missing denominator, unexplained previous allocation or incomplete beneficiary ledger requires explicit review and an unavailable final attributed amount; structural inspection cannot claim empirical completeness.
