# Other animal fats, unrendered, n.e.c.

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers animal-derived fat tissue or raw fatty material that remains **unrendered** at the declared handover and is not classified in a more specific animal-fat category. The normal route is physical recovery or separation after slaughter, dressing, cutting, or an analogous animal-processing step. Crude wool grease is also in scope because UNSD CPC 3.0 expressly includes it; its wool-scouring recovery route must be modelled separately from slaughter-derived tissue routes. Limited trimming, draining, washing, non-thermal physical separation, chilling, freezing, packing, storage, and dispatch preparation may be included when performed before the declared handover. Edible status is not assumed and must be declared.

Use this residual category only after an inclusion/exclusion gate. It excludes unrendered pig and poultry, cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goat fats in CPC 21511-21515; every form of rendered animal fat and the rendered-fat subclasses 21521-21529; fish-liver oils, other fish oils, marine-mammal oils, other extracted animal oils and their fractions; lanolin, wool alcohols, wool grease olein or stearin; hydrogenated, inter-esterified, re-esterified, elaidinised, refined, blended, or otherwise specifically classified fat products. Rendering, fat melting, extraction that produces an oil or fraction, refining, and downstream manufacture are outside the default foreground boundary.

Examples within the official residual scope include crude wool grease and unrendered fat from animals not elsewhere classified, such as bear, horse, hippopotamus, crab, mollusc, rabbit, and turtle. These are examples, not a common formulation or a licence to aggregate unlike species or material states. If the species or source material is unknown, if the material may overlap CPC 21511-21515 or a rendered/oil category, or if the physical state does not establish that it is unrendered, classification is `manual_review` and this PCR must not be auto-selected.

| excluded_products | CPC 21511-21515; rendered fats in CPC 21521-21529; fish, marine-mammal, and other extracted animal oils or fractions; lanolin and processed wool-grease fractions; modified, refined, blended, or otherwise specifically classified fat products |
| representative_product | One declared lot of physically separated unrendered fat tissue or raw fatty material from one identified species/taxon and recovery route |
| production_route | Route A: post-slaughter, dressing, cutting, or analogous physical separation and trimming; Route B: non-rendering recovery of crude wool grease from wool scouring; followed, when applicable, by draining or washing, chilling or freezing, packing, storage, and dispatch handover |
| market_state | Bulk or packed; ambient, chilled, or frozen as declared; unrendered; edible, feed, technical, or other intended grade as declared |

## 3. Reference Flow

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| What | Supply of other animal fat, unrendered, n.e.c., at the declared dispatch or delivery handover |
| How much | 1 kg net mass of qualifying product, excluding packaging and free drainage not sold as product |
| How well | Species/taxon, source tissue or material, recovery route, unrendered state, intended grade, physical state, temperature condition, and relevant moisture or extraneous-material basis are declared and do not overlap an excluded category |
| How long or cycle | One production lot at the declared handover; any chilling, freezing, or storage duration included in the foreground inventory is declared |
| reference_flow_link | The functional unit is fulfilled by 1 kg of the Tiangong product flow identified below |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 kg net product |
| Reference product flow | Other animal fats, unrendered, n.e.c. `0907e9e5-7e3d-493d-91a2-3810e2b5bc9a` |
| Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |

When constructing a foreground data package, every item listed in `Required qualifiers` must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, the reference-flow comment, the product description, or an equivalent data-package field. Missing qualifiers make the reference flow incomplete. Multiple species, source materials, grades, or recovery routes must be inventoried as separate datasets or separately calculated strata; a mixed aggregate is permitted only when each stratum and the aggregation weights are disclosed.

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `reference_net_mass` | Reference product | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Determine net product mass on a calibrated mass basis by subtracting tare, packaging, and separately removed free drainage. Record whether the reported mass is at dispatch or delivery and whether it is ambient, chilled, or frozen. |
| `same_mass_identity` | All mass conversions used for the reference flow | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Preserve the stated Tiangong mass property and Units of mass UUID. Convert recorded mass units to kg with documented factors; do not substitute a volume, lipid-content, dry-matter, or energy basis for the reference flow. |
| `conditioned_mass_basis` | Product after chilling, freezing, draining, or washing | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Use the mass at the declared handover condition. Measure and report separately any removed drainage, ice or added water, moisture change, and rejected non-fat tissue when material to the mass balance. |

## 5. System Boundary

### Boundary Abstraction

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| declared_starting_condition | Identified, accepted animal-derived fat tissue or raw fatty material enters physical recovery/separation after the upstream slaughter, dressing, cutting, or analogous animal-processing decision; for crude wool grease, identified greasy wool or a separately measured scouring stream enters non-rendering grease recovery |
| starting_condition_role | Foreground entry condition for route-specific physical recovery; upstream animal production, slaughter, fishing/aquaculture, wool production, and prior processing remain linked upstream systems unless demonstrably included in the same measured facility system |
| product_classification_scope | Residual CPC 21519 scope only after exclusion of CPC 21511-21515, CPC 21521-21529, fish or marine-mammal oils, other extracted oils/fractions, and other specifically classified products |
| recursive_input_rule | Purchased or transferred CPC 21519 material is an explicit same-category input with its own upstream dataset and is excluded from newly recovered output when calculating facility yield; internal transfers between mapped foreground processes are not counted twice |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Provide compatible upstream datasets for source animal material and other purchased inputs. At a shared slaughter, cutting, animal-processing, or wool-scouring boundary, the upstream dataset must disclose subdivision or the allocation method and factor applied at the point where the qualifying material becomes a distinct output |
| disclosure | Declare species/taxon, source material, route, included operations, rendering/refining exclusion, product grade, physical and temperature state, packaging, storage duration, handover point, upstream boundary, co-products, allocation method and factors, and any excluded flow with justification |

| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `boundary_unrendered_gate` | Product and foreground process boundary | The qualifying product must remain unrendered through the declared handover. Rendering, fat melting, extraction producing an animal oil or fraction, refining, and chemical modification are excluded and require another product category and process system. | `unsd-cpc-3-0-2025`; `codex-cxs-211-1999` |
| `boundary_route_start` | Foreground start | Start at the measured entry of accepted source material to physical recovery/separation. Include only route-specific operations and resource or emission flows actually controlled within the declared foreground system; link rather than erase upstream burdens. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `boundary_conditioning` | Chilling, freezing, washing, trimming, storage, and packing | Include these operations when performed before the declared handover and record their actual water, energy, auxiliary, packaging, waste, wastewater, refrigerant, and direct-emission flows. Applicable meat-hygiene controls govern only slaughter/meat routes and do not define composition or LCA values for aquatic or wool-grease routes. | `codex-cxc-58-2005`; `eu-fdm-bat-2019` |
| `boundary_handover` | Distribution boundary | The default foreground ends when the qualifying product is weighed and transferred at the declared dispatch gate. Outbound transport is outside unless the declared delivery handover includes it; if included, record route, distance, mode, load, temperature control, and allocation separately. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `boundary_no_silent_cutoff` | Inventory completeness | Identify all environmentally relevant material and energy flows, co-products, wastes, wastewater, and direct releases. Any exclusion must be explicit, justified, and assessed for significance; this candidate PCR sets no category-specific numerical cut-off. | `eu-pef-2021`; `eu-fdm-bat-2019` |

## 6. Process Inventory Structure

### Process Map

| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `physical_recovery_separation` | Physical recovery and separation | required | Always; use one declared route and separately stratify unlike species or materials | Foreground recovery of unrendered fat tissue/raw fatty material without rendering or refining | kg qualifying intermediate and co-products per measured kg source material |
| `conditioning_storage` | Non-rendering conditioning and storage | conditional | Include when trimming, draining, washing, chilling, freezing, or storage occurs before handover | Foreground condition control without rendering | kg conditioned unrendered product |
| `packing_dispatch_handover` | Packing, dispatch, and handover | required | Always; packaging input may be zero only for documented unpackaged bulk transfer | Final weighing, packing where applicable, storage release, and transfer of custody | 1 kg net reference product at declared handover |

Internal transfers are not co-products. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `allocation_physical_second` | Multifunctional process that cannot be subdivided | Use a demonstrated, quantifiable physical relationship only when it represents how the shared inputs and outputs provide the functions of the co-products. Record the relationship, measurements, period, and factor; mass alone is not automatically relevant. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `allocation_other_relationship_last` | Multifunctional process with no defensible subdivision or physical relationship | Use another justified relationship, normally economic allocation at the point the co-products become distinct, with contemporaneous route-, species-, grade-, and market-specific quantities and prices. Explain why earlier hierarchy steps failed and test sensitivity where the allocation materially affects results. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `allocation_no_cross_species_default` | n.e.c. source material and co-products | Do not apply a unified allocation factor across animal species, tissue states, crude wool grease, aquatic invertebrate material, or other recovery routes. PEF slaughterhouse default factors for cattle, pigs, sheep, and goats are outside this residual category and must not be imported as defaults. | `unsd-cpc-3-0-2025`; `eu-pef-2021` |
| `allocation_upstream_transfer` | Purchased or transferred source material and same-category input | A zero-burden or waste designation is not automatic. Retain the supplier/upstream treatment of burdens, co-product status, and allocation at the transfer point; reconcile it with the foreground method to avoid omission or double counting. | `eu-pef-2021` |

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `calc_net_reference_mass` | Final product mass | net product mass = gross measured mass - tare - packaging mass - separately removed free drainage; normalize inventory by net qualifying mass at handover | gross_mass; tare_mass; packaging_mass; free_drainage_mass; classification acceptance | kg qualifying product and normalization factor | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `calc_lot_mass_balance` | Each recovery and conditioning lot | Reconcile measured source inputs and additions with qualifying product, co-products, wastes, wastewater or drainage, direct mass releases, and stock change. Investigate rather than force-close unexplained imbalance | all measured mass inputs and outputs; stock change; moisture/free-drainage notes | disclosed mass-balance residual and completeness finding | `eu-fdm-bat-2019`; `eu-pef-2021` |
| `calc_shared_resource_use` | Shared water, energy, auxiliary, and dispatch records | normalized use = total recorded use × documented foreground allocation share ÷ net qualifying product mass; the share must use a causal meter or activity driver and remain separate by route/species stratum | meter or invoice total; allocation driver; allocation share; net product mass | resource use per kg reference product | `eu-fdm-bat-2019`; `eu-pef-2021` |
| `calc_co_product_allocation` | Multifunctional upstream or foreground process | Apply the ordered hierarchy: subdivision; relevant physical relationship; then another justified relationship. Record factors and verify allocated shares sum to one within the shared burden pool | direct measurements; driver data; quantities; prices; period; burden pool | allocated inputs, outputs, and emissions by co-product | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `calc_reasoned_estimate_replacement` | Provisional QA ranges | Reasoned-estimate ranges are screening flags only and never substitute for foreground amounts. Replace a range when reviewed batch, metering, bill-of-material, route, storage, or allocation evidence is available, or when the species/material/technology/boundary changes | provisional range; new foreground evidence; change trigger | retained, revised, or removed QA range with review record |  |

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `dq_identity_classification` | Every product and source-material stratum | Demonstrate residual-category eligibility, species/taxon, source material, unrendered state, route, grade, and non-overlap with exclusions. Ambiguity requires manual classification review before use. | Receiving and supplier records; physical-state evidence; CPC review |
| `dq_measurement` | Mass, resource, temperature, time, and release records | Use calibrated or verified instruments where applicable; preserve raw units, conversions, meter coverage, sampling methods, and allocation drivers. | Calibration and verification records; raw meter/sample files; conversion worksheet |
| `dq_temporal_geographic_technology` | Representative dataset | State geography, sites, technologies, throughput, seasonality, production period, and storage profile. Explain gaps and why the period represents the declared product stratum. | Production calendar; facility description; coverage statistics; PEF DQR disclosure |
| `dq_completeness` | Foreground inventory | Include or explicitly justify exclusion of relevant material, energy, co-product, waste, wastewater, packaging, refrigerant, and direct-release flows; report the mass-balance residual and omitted-flow assessment. | Process-flow diagram; BAT-style inventory where applicable; mass balance; exclusion register |
| `dq_allocation` | Shared processes | Retain hierarchy step, boundary, factors, period, species/route stratum, and evidence; do not transplant factors from another animal category or tissue state. | Allocation worksheet; meter/driver/price evidence; sensitivity result |
| `dq_hygiene_condition` | Edible slaughter/meat-derived routes | Retain applicable process-control, post-mortem acceptance, time-temperature, wrapping/packing, refrigeration, and custody records. CXC 58 is contextual and does not establish a product composition or LCA amount. | Applicable establishment control records; temperature log; inspection/acceptance and dispatch documentation |
| `dq_source_limits` | Use of external evidence | Preserve each source's declared use and limitation. Do not convert Codex composition tables, BAT applicability thresholds/performance levels, or PEF species-specific defaults into category-wide values for CPC 21519. | Source-use review and dataset-method note |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `validate_category_gate` | Product identity | Pass only when species/taxon, source material, route, and unrendered state establish CPC 21519 residual scope. Unknown species or possible overlap with CPC 21511-21515, rendered fats, animal oils/fractions, or another explicit category produces a manual-review finding and no automatic PCR selection. | `unsd-cpc-3-0-2025` |
| `validate_reference_uuid` | Reference flow identity | Require product flow `0907e9e5-7e3d-493d-91a2-3810e2b5bc9a`, Mass property `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66`, Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66`, unit kg, and a 1 kg net reference amount. |  |
| `validate_unrendered_process` | Process route | Fail conformity if rendering, fat melting, oil/fraction extraction, refining, or chemical modification occurs before handover, or if rendered/oil output is represented with this reference flow. | `unsd-cpc-3-0-2025`; `codex-cxs-211-1999` |
| `validate_strata` | Species, source material, and route aggregation | Require separate inventory strata for unlike species/materials/routes or disclosed weights and stratum-specific calculations. A single undifferentiated default for slaughter-derived tissue, crude wool grease, or other animal sources is non-conforming. | `unsd-cpc-3-0-2025` |
| `validate_boundary_handover` | Included operations | Require declared foreground start, included trimming/washing/conditioning/storage/packing, dispatch or delivery handover, and treatment of outbound transport. Rendering/refining must remain excluded. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `validate_inventory_completeness` | Process inventory | Require measured or explicitly not-applicable treatment of source material, product, co-products, water, energy, auxiliaries, rejects, wastewater/drainage, packaging, refrigerants/direct releases, and stock changes; justify every exclusion. | `eu-pef-2021`; `eu-fdm-bat-2019` |
| `validate_mass_balance` | Recovery, conditioning, and dispatch lots | Require raw measurements and a disclosed mass-balance residual. Do not force an unexplained residual to zero or use a reasoned-estimate range as the recorded amount. | `eu-fdm-bat-2019` |
| `validate_allocation` | Multifunctional burdens | Require evidence that subdivision was tested first, followed by a relevant physical relationship and only then another justified relationship; factors must be route- and period-specific and reconcile within the shared burden pool. | `eu-pef-2021` |
| `validate_estimate_replacement` | Reasoned-estimate ranges | Confirm that every `reasoned_estimate` is labelled provisional, is used only as a QA screen, has no invented source, and states replacement triggers. Foreground values remain mandatory. |  |
| `validate_source_limitations` | External-source use | Reject use of CXS 211 composition values as an unrendered-fat recipe or LCA value, CXC 58 outside applicable slaughter/meat hygiene context, or FDM BAT thresholds/performance values as universal requirements. | `codex-cxs-211-1999`; `codex-cxc-58-2005`; `eu-fdm-bat-2019` |
