# Women's or girls' blouses, shirts, petticoats, panties, nightdresses, dressing gowns and similar articles, knitted or crocheted

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for the manufacture of saleable women's or girls' knitted or crocheted blouses, shirts, petticoats, panties, nightdresses, dressing gowns, and similar articles. It begins when knitted or crocheted fabric, trims, auxiliaries, and packaging materials enter the reporting manufacturing site and ends when finished articles leave the site gate. It supports product-specific cutting, sewing and assembly, conditional garment wet processing, pressing and finishing, inspection, and sale packaging.

The PCR does not treat fibre production, yarn manufacture, knitting or crocheting of fabric, upstream fabric dyeing or finishing, distribution, retail, consumer use, repair, or end-of-life as foreground operations. These stages remain visible through linked upstream or downstream datasets when required by the study scope. Woven or otherwise non-knitted apparel, men's or boys' garments, hosiery, T-shirts, sweaters, outerwear, and products outside CPC 28224 are excluded.

This is a mass-based manufacturing data-production rule. It is not a comparative cradle-to-grave apparel functional unit and must not be used by itself for consumer-facing product comparisons.

| `boundary_conditional_routes` | Wet processing and on-site thermal energy | Include each conditional process and its atomic inputs, wastewater, wastes, and direct emissions only when records show that it occurred for the declared product; document an explicit not-applicable determination otherwise. | `eu-textiles-bref-2023`; `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `boundary_losses` | Cutting scrap, assembly losses, rejects, and packaging scrap | Report manufacturing losses and leftovers as separate waste outputs by material and treatment route; do not net recyclable scrap against virgin material input or finished-product output. | `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |

| recursive_input_rule | If an already finished CPC 28224 article enters for subcontract finishing, rework, or repackaging, record it once as a same-category product input with its upstream dataset and model only the added foreground operations; do not recursively recreate its prior manufacturing inventory |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Every purchased fabric, trim, chemical, energy carrier, water supply, and packaging material requires a representative upstream dataset or a disclosed unresolved data gap |
| disclosure | Declare product subtype, BOM coverage, fibre composition, reference size, site and period, included processes, outsourced operations, wet-processing recipe, energy supply, loss destinations, packaging configuration, and all exclusions |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `validate_reference_identity` | Reference flow | Confirm the reference flow is the verified public Product flow for CPC 28224, uses Mass and kg, and carries every required product qualifier. | `un-cpc-v3`; `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_reference_mass` | Normalization | Confirm reference output equals exactly 1 kg net conforming finished article after normalization and that sale packaging is excluded from this mass. | `eu-pef-method-2021`; `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_atomic_inventory` | Inventory rows | Reject any row that combines materials, energy carriers, chemicals, waste streams, emissions, or route alternatives; every selected flow shall denote one specific exchange. | `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_process_route` | Process map | Confirm every required process has a detailed inventory and every conditional wet-processing or energy route is supported by records or an explicit not-applicable determination. | `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025`; `sandin-knitted-garment-2024` |
| `validate_mass_balance` | Cutting, assembly, wet processing, finishing, and packaging | Reconcile input, output, waste, and stock-change masses by material and investigate unexplained imbalance; do not force balance by changing the reference output. | `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_energy_separation` | Utilities | Confirm electricity, purchased steam, natural gas, and LPG remain separate and that shared-utility allocation uses a disclosed causal driver. | `eu-pef-method-2021` |
| `validate_wet_processing` | Garment wet processing | When wet processing occurs, require the exact recipe, each named chemical, water, carrier-specific energy, wastewater destination, and applicable direct combustion emissions; reject generic chemical or energy bundles. | `eu-textiles-bref-2023`; `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_packaging` | Sale packaging | Confirm polybag, carton, hangtag, adhesive paper label, and any additional packaging material are measured separately and kept outside net garment mass. | `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |
| `validate_uuid_evidence` | UUID-bearing rows | Accept only Tiangong UUIDs confirmed by hybrid search and direct public state100 read; leave other UUIDs blank and retain the row-specific review record. |  |
| `validate_data_quality` | Produced foreground dataset | Confirm temporal coverage, site scope, calibration, BOM coverage, allocation, data gaps, linked dataset metadata, and completeness disclosures are present. | `eu-pef-method-2021`; `pefcr-apparel-footwear-2025` |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | Product-specific foreground manufacturing dataset for finished CPC 28224 knitted or crocheted women's or girls' articles |
| downstream_use | `secondary_dataset`; `background_dataset` when independently reviewed, geographically and technologically representative, and linked to the declared product qualifiers |
| allowed_use | Foreground process construction, supplier-specific product-footprint studies, and lifecycle models that explicitly add upstream fabric production and applicable downstream stages |
| excluded_use | Direct comparison of apparel products; claims for woven apparel or other CPC categories; substitution for missing fibre, yarn, fabric, distribution, use, or end-of-life inventories; use without product and route qualifiers |
| required_metadata | PCR id and version; CPC 28224; style or SKU; subtype and target group; fibre composition and BOM; size basis; net product mass; included processes; wet-processing route; site and geography; technology; reporting period; energy supply; packaging configuration; allocation; upstream dataset identities; waste destinations |
| required_quality_disclosure | Primary-data share; BOM coverage; measurement and calibration basis; temporal, geographical, and technological representativeness; allocation drivers; material-balance results; unresolved UUIDs; proxies; exclusions; missing data; uncertainty and review status |
| update_trigger | Change in product construction or BOM; fibre composition; size basis; manufacturing site or line; wet-processing recipe; energy or water supply; wastewater or waste treatment; packaging configuration; allocation method; reference flow identity; or evidence and data older than the declared representativeness period |
