# Marble and other calcareous monumental or building stone

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR covers marble and other calcareous stone supplied as quarry blocks or rough-cut monumental/building blanks at one declared quarry or rough-processing gate. Distinguish integrated extraction from standalone processing of supplied burden-bearing stone. Include actual site development, extraction, cutting/splitting, sorting, storage/loading, water/waste/dust controls and attributable rehabilitation through the gate. Keep carbonate stone as a mined material: quarrying and mechanical cutting do not justify a calcination CO2 release. Treat marble and other calcareous varieties by actual mineralogy and cutting/reject records, not an assumed pure-CaCO3 composition. Subsequent finishing, installation and building-service performance are separate datasets. `ifc-construction-2007`

Declare all qualifiers in dataset metadata or reference-flow comments. The representative identity is usable only for its confirmed product state, geography and property; resolve a distinct flow for incompatible variants. It does not impose a default product composition.

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| reference_basis | final_product | Mass | kg | D is the positive accepted net gate-output total in kg. Exclude packaging and cancelled internal transfers. cp_output records D; every card uses per 1 kg reference flow. |
| conversion | utility and material rows | Declared row property | kg; m3; MJ | Retain raw readings. Electricity: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ. Mass/volume conversion requires measured density, temperature and applicable pressure; retain water content and active chemical fraction. |
| category_balance | production | Mass | kg | D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake. |

## 7. Allocation and Co-product Handling

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| allocation_hierarchy | joint production | Prefer process subdivision or defensible system expansion; otherwise use demonstrated physical causality. Use economic allocation only with consistent period, price, currency and sensitivity when physical causality is unavailable. Retain the unallocated inventory. | `ef-allocation-2021` |
| allocation_product | reference and co-products | Subdivide extraction, rough cutting/splitting and downstream finishing where possible. Attribute development and closure once by disclosed lifetime accepted output. Retain unallocated inventory for true jointly produced grades or by-products. Scrap sold as aggregate or reused as fill does not automatically gain avoided-product credit; disclose its actual burden and destination. |  |
| allocation_waste | waste and recycling | Classify each output by physical state and actual fate. A sale does not automatically make a residue a co-product; internal recycling receives no avoided-product credit. Apply treatment burdens once. |  |

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| normalization | all cards | Exchange = attributable period quantity / D. Reconcile inventories and cancel internal transfers before aggregation. | cp_output; row-specific cp records | per 1 kg reference flow |  |
| physical_balance | production | D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake. | Matched mass, volume, composition and stock measurements | Balance residual and uncertainty |  |

### Data Quality Requirements

| requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| representativeness | dataset | Use matching production and exchange periods, actual technology, geography and supplier state. Record startup, shutdown, seasonal variation and substitutions. | collection records |
| identity_and_ranges | all cards | Unresolved identities and missing independent range evidence remain explicit. Do not replace measurement by a guessed industry range or by missing-as-zero. | manifest review metadata |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| validate_reference | final_product | Verify 1 kg, positive D, product state, property/unit and every required qualifier. Each dataset fixes one product and route. |  |
| validate_balance | site | D is positive accepted net as-received stone mass in kg at the declared gate, excluding packaging, reject pieces and returned product. Independently weigh net loads or validate piece/volume records against measured mass/density and actual shape; never assume a universal density or per-piece mass. Reconcile extracted/supplied stone, saleable stone, scrap, saw kerf/slurry solids, stock changes and dust. Measure moisture and solid fraction separately; circulated cutting water is not repeated new intake. |  |
| validate_coverage | handoff | Verify each applicable exchange, its provider or environmental compartment and final waste fate; identify skipped checks, unresolved identities, missing measurements and upstream gaps. Errors or unassessed mandatory coverage cannot be labelled complete. |  |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | foreground_dataset |
| downstream_use | secondary_dataset; background_dataset |
| allowed_use | Supply 1 kg of qualified calcareous dimension stone; no equivalence claim per installed area or service lifetime |
| excluded_use | lime/cement feed at its chemical-manufacture gate; calcined lime; stone powder as reference; finished polished/resin-treated articles; granite and sandstone |
| required_metadata | site/year; geology and extraction method; integrated/standalone start; actual lithology and carbonate mineralogy; block/slab dimensions; fissures/veins and usable grade; raw/rough-cut state; moisture; declared strength/absorption evidence; loading gate; net mass and stock change; cut/split losses; water source/return; waste fate; allocation; development/closure lifetime-output basis |
| required_quality_disclosure | Identity and measurement gaps; boundary coverage; uncertainty; allocation; temporal and geographical representativeness |
| update_trigger | Changed product, route, yield, supply, waste fate, site or representative period |
