Scope and Applicability This PCR builds a site-input-to-factory-gate foreground data package for apparel and clothing accessories, including gloves, classified exactly to CPC 28243 and defined by plastics. It covers cut-and-join plastic film/sheet routes and PVC-compatible plastisol glove dipping; each dataset selects only its actual route and specific atomic exchanges. It excludes leather articles, vulcanized-rubber gloves, ordinary textile apparel, footwear, and CPC 28250 garments made from felt, nonwovens, or textile fabrics impregnated, coated, or laminated with plastics, rubber, or other materials. ## 2.

Allocation and Co-product Handling Avoid allocation with route-, line-, lot-, and product-specific records. Internal rework is not a waste output. Allocate shared meters by causal drivers such as machine time, measured throughput, thermal demand, or wastewater volume; use and disclose mass allocation only when no better relation exists. List saleable by-products separately and do not credit avoided burdens for waste recycling inside this foreground package. ## 8.

Validation Rules 1. `val_reference_identity`: Reference flow is Product, CPC 28243, Mass, Units of mass, kg, and the confirmed UUID. 2. `val_reference_amount`: Normalized net product output is exactly 1 kg; packaging mass is excluded. 3. `val_route_atomicity`: Every card contains one exact exchange and its actual route condition holds. 4. `val_carrier_separation`: Electricity, steam, hot water, natural gas, diesel, LPG, R-134a, and every material, waste, and emission remain separate. 5. `val_no_estimate_range`: No AI, author, or reasoned-estimate quantity range is used; missing quantities remain foreground records. 6. `val_balances`: Polymer, solvent, water, refrigerant, and product balances close to records. 7. `val_bilingual_identity`: EN/ZH process_id, direction, flow_type, row_id, order, controlled values, source_id, and UUID align. 8. `val_uuid_gate`: Add a non-reference UUID only after hybrid search and direct state-code-100 dual verification. ## 10.
