# Boards, consoles, cabinets and other bases, equipped with electrical switching etc. apparatus, for a voltage not exceeding 1,000 V

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR governs foreground data packages for complete low-voltage boards, consoles, cabinets and other equipped bases that switch, protect, control or distribute electricity at a declared rated voltage not exceeding 1,000 V. It covers fixed or movable, enclosed or open assemblies for industrial, commercial, infrastructure, photovoltaic, energy-storage interconnection and residential applications when the delivered product is a complete equipped assembly.

The data package must describe the actual configuration. A bare enclosure, one switching device, one part, or one residential distribution board must not be used as a proxy for this whole heterogeneous category. The CPC voltage ceiling remains 1,000 V even where a referenced technical standard has a wider DC scope.

## 2. Product Category Identity

## 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 | Report the net mass of the complete equipped assembly and the conversion between one delivered assembly and the 1 kg reference amount. |

## 5. System Boundary

The foreground manufacturing boundary begins when purchased materials, fabricated parts and apparatus are received at the assembly site and ends with the complete tested assembly and its delivery packaging at the declared dispatch gate. Upstream production of purchased inputs is linked through separate datasets. Distribution, installation, operation, maintenance and end-of-life are separate scenario modules unless the study explicitly brings them into scope.

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `boundary_complete_assembly` | product identity | Include the enclosure or equipped base, busbars, installed switching/protection/control apparatus, internal wiring, auxiliaries, mandatory accessories, factory testing and separately quantified delivery packaging that form the declared delivered assembly. | `iec-61439-1-2020`; `iec-61439-2-2020`; `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `boundary_factory_gate` | foreground manufacturing | Include site-controlled fabrication, finishing, assembly, wiring, programming, inspection, testing, rework, waste handling and packaging through the dispatch gate; disclose which fabrication steps are purchased rather than site-controlled. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1`; `abb-enviline-ess750-epd-2023` |
| `boundary_upstream_inputs` | purchased inputs | Link purchased enclosure parts, busbars, devices, electronics, cables, auxiliaries, coatings and packaging to geographically and technologically appropriate upstream datasets; do not replace them with an unqualified whole-category proxy. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `boundary_downstream_scenarios` | life-cycle extensions | Keep distribution, installation, operation, maintenance, replacements and end-of-life outside the factory-gate foreground result unless explicitly included; when included, report each module separately with product-specific scenarios. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1`; `abb-enviline-ess750-epd-2023` |
| `boundary_category_exclusions` | category applicability | Reject empty enclosures, single apparatus and assemblies above the CPC voltage ceiling; a residential distribution board may represent only its declared subtype, not the entire category. | `un-cpc-v3-46213`; `iec-62208-2023`; `iec-61439-3-2024` |

| starting_condition_role | Disclosed foreground product inputs linked to upstream datasets. |
| product_classification_scope | Complete equipped assemblies within CPC 3.0 code 46213 and rated not above 1,000 V. |
| recursive_input_rule | A purchased input already classified as CPC 46213 remains an explicit same-category product input with its own mass, configuration, supplier and upstream dataset; it is not recursively expanded or silently merged with the reference output. |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Use input-specific datasets matching material or apparatus identity, production geography, technology and period; disclose proxies and data gaps. |
| disclosure | State the dispatch gate, included accessories and packaging, purchased versus in-house fabrication, excluded life-cycle modules, and any same-category subassembly input. |

| `validate_qualifiers` | reference flow | Confirm every required qualifier is present and consistent with the controlled design, nameplate, BOM and test record. | `iec-61439-1-2020`; `iec-61439-2-2020` |
| `validate_mass_balance` | material inventory | Confirm installed material groups reconcile to measured net product mass; flag and disclose every unexplained residual rather than inserting an unspecified default. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `validate_process_boundary` | foreground processes | Confirm all site-controlled fabrication, assembly, testing, rework, waste handling and packaging are included and purchased processes are disclosed and linked upstream. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `validate_energy_allocation` | factory energy | Confirm meter/invoice reconciliation, excluded unrelated loads and the documented physical allocation driver for the declared model and period. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `validate_waste_destinations` | waste | Confirm production waste mass, type and actual destination are recorded without netting recycling credits from inputs. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `validate_use_scenario` | optional use stage | When use is reported, confirm losses, auxiliary/control and cooling energy, load/time profile, service life, maintenance, replacements and grid geography are configuration-specific and separately disclosed. | `pep-psr-0005-ed3-1` |
| `validate_no_proxy_extrapolation` | representativeness | Reject a claim that an empty cabinet, one switching device, one residential distribution board or one photovoltaic/energy-storage model represents the full category without a declared and weighted product mix. | `iec-62208-2023`; `iec-61439-3-2024`; `abb-enviline-ess750-epd-2023` |
| `validate_source_lineage` | all reported values | Confirm every foreground value and calculation is linked to its collection record, unit, period, site and transformation; sources support rules only and are not used as unreviewed default quantities. |  |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | unit_process |
| downstream_use | secondary_dataset |
| allowed_use | Configuration-specific factory-gate datasets for complete CPC 46213 assemblies, and explicitly separated distribution, installation, use, maintenance and end-of-life scenario extensions. |
| excluded_use | Empty enclosures; individual devices or parts; assemblies above 1,000 V; unqualified category-average claims; extrapolation of one residential, photovoltaic or energy-storage assembly to the whole category. |
| required_metadata | PCR id; CPC code; reference-flow UUIDs; model and application; AC/DC; rated voltage/current and short-circuit ratings; configuration; enclosure and busbar materials; protection/control functions; IP; cooling and auxiliary power; net mass; packaging/delivery boundary; service life; geography; technology; period; sites; allocation; scenario modules. |
| required_quality_disclosure | BOM and mass reconciliation; foreground metering and allocation; waste destinations; upstream dataset matches and proxies; factory-test basis; product-mix weighting; optional use/lifetime/replacement assumptions; data gaps and reviewer-reproducible lineage. |
| update_trigger | Design or BOM revision; changed ratings, enclosure/busbar material, device/control configuration, IP or cooling; changed production route/site/energy mix; changed packaging/delivery boundary; changed service-life or use scenario; materially improved supplier or foreground evidence. |
