# Other woven fabrics of cotton

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR applies to saleable woven textile fabrics declared as cotton fabrics and assigned to the residual product category "other woven fabrics of cotton" after more specific cotton-woven-fabric categories have been ruled out. It covers greige, prepared, bleached, dyed, printed, and otherwise finished factory-gate fabrics when the actual route and composition are declared.

The foreground boundary begins with purchased yarn and other supplied materials at the fabric-producing site and ends with saleable fabric at the factory gate. It includes weaving preparation, weaving, route-specific wet processing, printing or dyeing, finishing, inspection, packaging, directly associated utilities, and on-site emission or effluent treatment when those activities occur at the reporting site. Upstream cotton cultivation, ginning, spinning, supplied chemicals, fuels, electricity, and transport are represented by linked upstream datasets rather than recreated inside the foreground inventory.

Knitted, crocheted, tufted, nonwoven, narrow, pile, terry, gauze, special technical, and made-up textile products are outside this PCR unless their product identity still meets the declared residual cotton woven-fabric boundary. Yarn and fibre production are outside the foreground process boundary. A data package shall not use this PCR merely because a fabric contains some cotton; it shall document the applicable classification decision, fibre composition, construction, and route.

The Tiangong flow **Printed cotton cloth** is an identity reference for one tightly woven, light- to medium-weight, printed apparel-grade representative route. It is not a default production route, composition, basis weight, quality grade, printing technology, or market average for the full category. Non-printed, greige, dyed, differently finished, or otherwise constructed products shall declare their own route qualifiers while retaining the mass-based reference-flow contract.

## 2. Product Category Identity

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| canonical_pcr_id | pcr.food-products-beverages-and-tobacco-textiles-apparel-and-leather-products.yarn-and-thread-woven-and-tufted-textile-fabrics.other-woven-fabrics-of-cotton |
| classification_refs | CPC 3.0: 26690, Other woven fabrics of cotton |
| covered_products | Saleable greige, prepared, bleached, dyed, printed, or finished woven cotton fabrics that belong to the residual other-cotton-woven-fabric category after more specific subclasses are ruled out |
| excluded_products | Yarn and fibre; knitted, crocheted, tufted, nonwoven, narrow, pile, terry, gauze, and special fabrics classified elsewhere; made-up textile articles; products whose declared principal textile identity is not cotton |
| representative_product | Printed cotton cloth is one tightly woven, light- to medium-weight, printed apparel-grade representative route only; it does not represent every product in the category |
| production_route | Supplied yarn -> warping and optional sizing -> weaving -> inspection/repair -> optional desizing, scouring, bleaching, or mercerising -> optional dyeing or printing -> optional functional or mechanical finishing and thermal treatment -> final inspection and packaging |
| market_state | Saleable dry fabric at factory gate, in roll, bale, or equivalent bulk form, with packaging excluded from reference mass and reported separately |

## 3. Reference Flow

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| What | Provision of saleable woven cotton fabric at the factory gate with a declared fibre composition, weave/construction, route, area mass, usable width, finish, and quality grade |
| How much | 1 kg of saleable fabric, excluding packaging |
| How well | Conforming to the producer's declared product specification and applicable contract or verified performance grade; no category-wide printing or finishing grade is implied |
| How long or cycle | One production lot through factory-gate release; use-stage lifetime is not part of this intermediate-product reference flow |
| reference_flow_link | The reference product output row `saleable_cotton_woven_fabric` is normalized to 1 kg |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 |
| Reference product flow | Printed cotton cloth / 印花棉布 `00665421-6d29-46d6-83cb-28766e3dec4b` |
| Reference flow property | Mass / 质量 `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass / 质量单位组 `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` |
| Reference unit | kg |
| Required qualifiers | actual route: greige/prepared/bleached/dyed/printed/finished; fibre composition by dry mass; yarn type/count; weave and construction; area mass in g/m2; usable width; moisture condition at weighing; colour/print technology when applicable; chemical or mechanical finish; performance/quality grade and test basis; production geography; technology and reporting period; packaging treatment; co-product and scrap classification; allocation method |

When constructing a foreground data package, every required qualifier shall be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, the reference-flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data-package field. Missing required qualifiers make the reference-flow definition incomplete. When the product is not printed cotton cloth, the Tiangong UUID remains a category representative identity only and the package shall explicitly state the semantic difference; it shall not relabel the actual product as printed cloth.

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `reference_mass` | Saleable reference fabric | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | Normalize all foreground quantities to 1 kg of accepted saleable fabric. Exclude cores, wraps, pallets, and other packaging from fabric mass and inventory them separately. Record the weighing basis and moisture condition. |
| `dry_mass_and_moisture` | Yarn, fabric intermediates, and saleable fabric | Mass | kg | Use consistent dry-mass or declared commercial-moisture accounting across the lot. If commercial mass is used, record measured or specified moisture and the conversion used for mass-balance comparison. |
| `area_mass_check` | Saleable fabric | Area, mass, length, and usable width | m2, kg, m, m, g/m2 | Cross-check lot mass against usable length x usable width x measured area mass. Investigate a material mismatch; do not replace measured reference mass with the area calculation without explanation. |
| `composition_basis` | Fibre composition | Mass fraction | % by mass | Report constituent fibre fractions on one declared mass basis and require the total to equal 100% within documented rounding tolerance. |
| `water_accounting` | Wet processes and cleaning | Volume | m3 | Record gross fresh-water intake, internally reused/recycled water, and net water consumption separately; do not subtract water that is merely transferred to another on-site process without documenting the transfer. |
| `energy_accounting` | Electricity, fuels, steam, and heat | Energy or carrier-specific property | kWh, MJ, kg, or m3 | Record purchased electricity, each fuel carrier, imported steam/heat, on-site generation, recovered energy, and exports separately. Apply conversion factors with their source and do not mix lower and higher heating values. |

## 5. System Boundary

| declared_starting_condition | Purchased yarn, processing chemicals, packaging, utilities, and other supplied materials crossing the fabric-production site gate, with their actual supplier, state, and upstream dataset linkage declared |
| starting_condition_role | Foreground fabric manufacturing starts at receipt of yarn and ends at release of saleable woven fabric at the factory gate |
| product_classification_scope | Residual woven cotton fabric category; classification does not force a printed route and requires exclusion of more specific fabric categories before use |
| recursive_input_rule | If an input is another product within this PCR category, record it as a purchased intermediate with an independently modelled upstream dataset and declared route; do not recursively reproduce its manufacturing inside the receiving process |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Link representative upstream datasets for yarn/fibre supply, chemicals, electricity, fuels/heat, water supply, packaging, transport, and off-site treatment; disclose geography, technology, time, and proxy gaps |
| disclosure | Declare included and excluded route stages, on-site versus off-site wet processing, treatment location, product composition and construction, reference-flow moisture basis, recovered/recycled flows, cut-offs, proxies, and allocation choices |

| rule_id | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `boundary_route_specific` | Include every process actually performed from supplied yarn through factory-gate release. Mark pretreatment, dyeing, printing, finishing, direct heating, and on-site treatment as conditional rather than assuming the printed representative route. | eu-txt-bat-2022 |
| `boundary_inputs_outputs` | For each included process, inventory material and chemical inputs, water, energy, products, wastes, wastewater, and relevant direct emissions. Maintain a process flow sheet that relates outputs and emissions to their source process. | eu-txt-bat-2022 |
| `boundary_recursive_inputs` | Represent purchased same-category fabric as a linked upstream dataset with its own reference flow and qualifiers; prohibit a self-referential foreground loop. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
| `boundary_shared_services` | Include directly associated shared utilities, thermal treatment, air-emission control, and wastewater treatment and allocate them using the hierarchy in Section 7. | eu-txt-bat-2022; eu-pef-2021-2279 |

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `allocation_subdivision` | Dedicated lines, batch steps, meters, and treatment trains | Avoid allocation first by subdividing processes and using direct batch, line, meter, or treatment records attributable to the reference fabric. Do not pool route-specific wet processing with unprocessed greige production when separable records exist. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
| `allocation_physical` | Unavoidable shared operations with multiple fabric outputs | When subdivision or defensible system expansion is not possible, use a documented causal physical relationship such as machine time, metered energy, liquor volume, treatment load, or processed mass. Select the driver that best explains consumption or emission formation, not automatically product mass. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
| `allocation_economic_last_resort` | Multi-output operation lacking a defensible physical relationship | Use revenue-based allocation only as a last resort. Record product quantities, prices, currency, geography, price period, treatment of zero/negative values, and sensitivity to price variation. | eu-pef-2021-2279 |
| `allocation_residues` | Yarn waste, fabric scrap, recovered paste, sludge, and off-spec material | Classify each output before allocation. Internal reuse is a tracked internal transfer; an externally marketable output is a co-product handled by the hierarchy; a waste output carries treatment according to the selected waste model. Do not claim avoided burdens in the foreground inventory without an explicit downstream method. | eu-pef-2021-2279; eu-txt-bat-2022 |
| `allocation_shared_treatment` | Utilities, wastewater treatment, and air-abatement systems | Prefer process-specific meters and pollutant loads. Otherwise allocate electricity/heat by causal demand and treatment burdens by measured volume and relevant pollutant load; disclose any remaining shared-site allocation. | eu-txt-bat-2022; eu-pef-2021-2279 |

| `calc_allocation` | Shared process or facility | Apply Section 7 in order: subdivision/system expansion where defensible, causal physical relationship, then economic allocation as last resort; allocation factors shall sum to 1 within documented rounding | Direct records; causal driver quantities; co-product quantities; prices only if needed | Allocated inventory and disclosed factor set | eu-pef-2021-2279 |

### Data Quality Requirements
