# Complete new non-energetic weapon manufacturing environmental accounts

## 1. Scope and Applicability

Environmental manufacturing accounts for one declared complete new non-energetic weapon or firearm at its producer acceptance gate. Heavy and small product families share the reporting method, with separate configurations, actual chemical/waste interfaces and supplier gates. Scope covers procurement, actual site manufacturing environmental totals, conditional treatment/recovery, non-functional release records and delivery protection. No weapon design, construction/functional part list, manufacturing settings, recipes, assembly or operating instructions are provided.

Ammunition and energetic materials/charges or their processing; products with inseparable energetic contents; independently supplied parts; ceremonial/edged arms; used/refurbished products and restoration; use, functional/live-fire testing, deployment, storage after gate and end of life. An actual excluded factory activity is a disclosed coverage gap, not zero burden.

Partitions are environmental accounts, not a manufacturing sequence. HK monitoring and NYDEC heavy-site history support separate environmental interfaces; neither supplies current product quantities or a completed current closure. Require the current records described below. Do not infer chemical occurrence, completed chromium substitution or common intensity from public reports. The operating receipt-to-acceptance foreground is not complete cradle-to-gate without verified compatible upstream links and disclosed excluded contributions.

## 3. Reference Flow

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| What | Environmental accounting of manufacturing a specified complete accepted non-energetic product |
| How much | 1 kg accepted net mass; per-unit exchanges normalized by measured M |
| How well | Same documented configuration/delivery state and controlled non-functional acceptance record; no operational equivalence or performance criterion asserted |
| How long or cycle | One actual manufacture/acceptance cycle; no lifetime, deployment or functional-use cycle assumed |
| reference_flow_link | accepted_product |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 |
| Reference product flow | Accepted complete new non-energetic weapon |
| Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` |

Declare qualifiers in metadata or equivalent notes. One unit is one complete accepted product, not purchased stock or a separately delivered part. Permanent accepted contents are included; ammunition/energetic charges, testing consumables, transport packaging and removable fixtures are excluded from net M. Equal kg does not establish equal functional performance or comparability across product families.

## 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 | M = accepted net mass of one complete unit of the same configuration in kg; collect using cp_mass. |
| `mass_record_provenance` | cp_mass | Mass | kg | Controlled acceptance mass must originate in current traceable physical weighing for the same delivered complete unit and measured tare. If the physical method uses separately weighed portions, require an independently checked complete mass reconciliation, traceable calibrated readings and inclusion/exclusion register; no design or functional-component list is published. Keep date, configuration, original method, uncertainty and signed release. Catalogue weight, theoretical density, rated capacity, shipping gross mass or an unreconciled sum cannot establish M. Future positive measured M is required; no mass assumed. |
| `energy_units` | each electricity row | Net calorific value | MJ | Use verified 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ conversion. Retain actual provider/voltage and metered scope including standby; do not substitute rated power or group-average intensity. Reconcile stage and common meters once. |


## 5. System Boundary

### Boundary Abstraction

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| declared_starting_condition | Actual received physical supplies and supplier manufacturing gates with opening/closing stocks |
| starting_condition_role | Receipt-to-accepted-product operating foreground; boundary_abstraction |
| product_classification_scope | Environmental manufacturing accounts for one declared complete new non-energetic weapon or firearm at its producer acceptance gate. Heavy and small product families share the reporting method, with separate configurations, actual chemical/waste interfaces and supplier gates. Scope covers procurement, actual site manufacturing environmental totals, conditional treatment/recovery, non-functional release records and delivery protection. No weapon design, construction/functional part list, manufacturing settings, recipes, assembly or operating instructions are provided. |
| recursive_input_rule | Separate purchased completed-product supplier burden from actual local contributions; never duplicate its contained material supply. Internal transfers/recovered stock remain circulation, not a second purchase. Each outsourced service and contained exchanges is counted once |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Match actual item/material/chemical supply state, provider gate, reference property/unit, site/period and receiver. Unreviewable confidential interfaces remain gaps, not zero; reviewed upstream links required for extended coverage |
| disclosure | neutral product family/configuration and accepted release identifier; complete new non-energetic delivery state; producer/site/reporting period; actual accepted quantity; positive net M kg, physical mass provenance and controlled acceptance record; packaging/fixture exclusion; environmental make/buy and subcontractor gates; chemical supply/SDS state and chromium analytical speciation when applicable; actual new-supply versus recovery/stock balances; wastewater/sludge/oily-chip receiver and wet/dry basis; causal shared allocation; omitted/withheld/excluded activities and upstream uncertainty |

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `boundary_accounts` | all partitions | Collect actual production environmental burdens, rework and rejects, shared controls and outsourced treatment at non-operational gates. Long-lived infrastructure/tooling and independent R&D are excluded from core operating foreground and disclosed. Functional/energetic tests and later lifecycle burdens are excluded with actual omissions disclosed; no silent complete-LCI claim. | `hk`, `nydec` |
| `boundary_interface_audit` | all actual exchanges | Cards are conditional atomic starting examples, not a weapon material recipe or complete inventory. Independently review every current safe environmental interface; add each actual supply, chemical, waste or released species separately with its physical identity. Undisclosed inputs cannot be omitted as zero. Do not disclose structure, technical settings, manufacture/assembly methods or functionality. |  |
| `boundary_water_waste` | treatment, recovery and receivers | Supplied water is technosphere input, not natural-water withdrawal or effluent. Track actual recovery/reuse internally and each final wastewater/sludge/oily-chip transfer at the receiving boundary. Discharged chemical species are distinct from gross waste. Historical contaminated groundwater, legacy soil remediation and indoor-air mitigation are separate activities, not current unit manufacturing emissions. | `nydec`, `epa` |


## 6. Process Inventory Structure

### Process Map

| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `receipt` | Procurement and stock accounting | required | Each declared new non-energetic weapon or firearm | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |
| `site_manufacture` | Site manufacturing environmental accounts | required | Actual site manufacturing within declared gates | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |
| `surface` | Conditional surface-treatment environmental accounts | conditional | Only documented actual site surface-treatment burden | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |
| `acceptance` | Acceptance and net-mass accounting | required | Each accepted complete non-energetic product | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |
| `utilities` | Shared facility utility and waste accounts | required | Actual attributable facility services | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |
| `packing` | Conditional delivery protection accounts | conditional | Actual factory-gate shipping protection | foreground | one accepted same-configuration finished unit, normalized using M |

Linked accounts reconcile receipts/stocks, actual manufacturing totals, conditional treatment/recovery, accepted output, shared services and protection. They do not imply a production sequence. Separate heavy and small configurations, current waste interfaces and suppliers; no common default occurrence or quantities.

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `allocation_shared` | shared resources and families | Directly assign measured exchanges where possible. Allocate residual shared burden using a current causal driver: share = covered configuration driver / sum of covered drivers. Require actual records of meter scope, usage/load/occupied service and accepted counts; preserve period, denominator, standby, driver rationale and sensitivity. Different heavy/small families need separate actual drivers; corporate totals divided by catalogue product weights or sales counts are not acceptable. |  |
| `allocation_recovery` | actual recovery, stock and waste | Track incoming new supply, internal recovered material, stock change, final product/reject and final waste once. Internal recovered solvent/oil/water is not new purchased supply or an automatic virgin-production credit. Preserve actual recovery and treatment resource burden. Wet slurry and contained chromium are different bases, and CrIII/CrVI shares do not create two copies of one wastewater stream. |  |
| `allocation_coproduct` | scrap and other outputs | Trace actual receivers and material status. Waste recyclability alone does not establish co-product status or credits. Any co-product allocation requires actual causal/economic records and sensitivity. Rejected/reworked units retain attributed burden in accepted production scope; no default yield, shared quota or recovery efficiency. |  |

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `normalize_mass` | all inventory rows | q_ref = q_item / M; q_item = exchange amount per one accepted finished unit; q_ref = exchange amount per 1 kg reference flow. | q_item; M; cp_mass | q_ref |  |

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `quality_mass` | cp_mass | Require positive net M kg with current complete delivered configuration, physical provenance, calibration/tare and controlled release. Same-configuration accepted quantity must agree with these originals. Controlled acceptance records are only the collection interface, not proof without original physical metrology. No catalogue or group-total mass estimate. Missing source records requires data/scientific review. | actual physical method/readings, calibration/tare, mass closure and acceptance |
| `quality_speciation` | current chemicals, wastewater and sludge | Preserve actual chemical/formulation, CAS where established, phase, wet/dry basis and analytical speciation. Total chromium is not CrVI or CrIII; hexavalent compound is not chromium metal. Chemical feed, captured sludge, gross wastewater and actually released dissolved species require separate identities and balances. Historical groundwater release or substitution intent is not current production evidence; never assume chromium-free state. | current SDS/analysis definitions and receiver/species records |
| `quality_balance` | materials, recovery, water and meters | Reconcile actual new-supply versus internal recovery and opening/closing stocks, product/reject and final waste without double-counting. Separate technosphere water from natural-resource abstraction and effluent, treatment service from contained resources, and shared from stage meters. Preserve meter failures, substitutions/estimates and uncertainty; HK2024 notes a water-meter anomaly, not a product consumption default. | current environmental reconciliations, anomaly records and causal drivers |
| `quality_completeness` | actual dataset, both product families and providers | Audit the whole current non-operational environmental interface register beyond candidate rows, with measured/calculated/missing/evidenced not_applicable distinguished. A shared method does not establish shared material recipe or emissions. Disclose supplier/outsourcing/withheld scope and excluded functional-testing/capital/later lifecycle contributions. Missing current records is a gap, not zero. No complete cradle-to-gate or scientific approval claim from contract checking. | current complete environmental records and transparent coverage gaps |


## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `validate_reference` | reference and accepted_product | Exact reference name equals accepted_product output. Require one complete new non-energetic accepted unit, current configuration/net M kg under cp_mass, physical provenance and normalize_mass. Blank candidate reference UUID is registered at that exact row in unresolved_flow_identities. Independent parts, energetic content and gross shipping mass cannot substitute. |  |
| `validate_identity_basis` | all rows and both languages | Verify lawful matching lowercase identifiers and actual projected row/protocol/rule links, per-unit q_item/M kg and accepted-count aggregation. Preserve actual public reference properties/units, official localized UUID names, atomic exchanges and chemical/media/supply qualifiers. CrVI/CrIII/waste/species distinctions cannot be replaced by generic chromium totals. |  |
| `validate_scope` | actual interface and dataset use | Require current environmental-only scope evidence and independently reviewed make/buy, recovery/receiver and mass closure before claiming complete foreground coverage. Historical remediation and public group totals are not current unit burdens. Uniform reporting across families conveys no functional equivalence or common default emissions. Candidate science review remains pending. |  |


## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | secondary_dataset and background_dataset after actual data completion and review |
| downstream_use | Environmental manufacture input for a separately declared non-energetic product lifecycle, with omitted stages explicitly visible |
| allowed_use | Manufacturing environmental accounts/comparisons within matching actual configuration, delivered state, environmental gate and disclosed coverage; no automatic cross-family comparison |
| excluded_use | Ammunition and energetic materials/charges or their processing; products with inseparable energetic contents; independently supplied parts; ceremonial/edged arms; used/refurbished products and restoration; use, functional/live-fire testing, deployment, storage after gate and end of life. An actual excluded factory activity is a disclosed coverage gap, not zero burden. |
| required_metadata | neutral product family/configuration and accepted release identifier; complete new non-energetic delivery state; producer/site/reporting period; actual accepted quantity; positive net M kg, physical mass provenance and controlled acceptance record; packaging/fixture exclusion; environmental make/buy and subcontractor gates; chemical supply/SDS state and chromium analytical speciation when applicable; actual new-supply versus recovery/stock balances; wastewater/sludge/oily-chip receiver and wet/dry basis; causal shared allocation; omitted/withheld/excluded activities and upstream uncertainty |
| required_quality_disclosure | Current records, M provenance, chemical speciation/wet-dry basis, receiver/recovery/stock and allocation evidence, unresolved identities, withheld/omitted upstream and excluded stages; scientific review pending |
| update_trigger | Product completion/configuration, actual supply/chemical/waste state, chromium replacement status, recovery loop, site/provider/receiver, metrology or allocation changes |
