Scope and Applicability This PCR covers non-reactive manufacture in China of unpigmented one-piece HDPE screw caps with an integral bore/plug seal and tamper-evident band for cold-filled still-water bottles. Begin with purchased closure-grade HDPE pellet formulation; include receipt/storage, feed handling, screw plasticisation, hot-runner injection/packing, mould cooling, ejection, required band slitting/folding, inspection, and first quality release. Include actual clean in-house pre-release recovery only when validated for this food-contact application. The terminal production gate is first release of new conforming cap units; post-release FG storage, packing, handling and dispatch remain a separately identified cohort service account. It is not the purchase and repacking of finished closures. Product/route synthesis combines a documented cap geometry, HDPE injection-grade evidence and injection-system engineering. These sources do not establish a single supplier recipe, the equipment used for the cited BERICAP SKU, or a contemporary factory order. Do not transfer compression moulding energy or liner-making operations. Exclude bottles/containers, sacks/bags, film/sheet/profile/pipe manufacture, compression-moulded caps, PP flip-top or multi-piece sports caps, inserted liners, decoration, intentional reactive/foamed routes, and post-consumer-cap remelting. A different neck/tether design requires demonstrated functional and process compatibility, not a second canonical record merely for another diameter. CPC3.0 36490 is broader than this method: packaging articles and many closure routes remain outside it. The 36410 bags route and 363-series semifinished products do not cover mould-cavity formation of the seal/threads or band finishing and release of these caps. A steel injection-mould tooling PCR supplies a different product. Shared utility/allocation modules may be reused without reusing these incompatible product boundaries. ## 2.

Reference Flow | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | What | Provide a declared screw-closure intermediate for the specified bottle neck and fill conditions | | How much | 1 kg newly first-quality-released cap net mass excluding packaging | | How well | Conform to the actual dimensional/seal/torque/tamper-band and hygienic release plan; kg alone is not equal closure function | | How long or cycle | One identified release cohort and release period; separately disclose observed service closing date and historical FG accounts; no assumed bottle service life | | reference_flow_link | released_cap | | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Reference amount | 1 | | Reference product flow | Primary packaging, plastic closure `0161e346-2ac3-48be-b61d-e94ebb6f4b0f` | | Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | | Reference unit group | Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` | | Reference unit | kg | | Required qualifiers | actual China site and accounting/cohort periods; complete HDPE grade and supplier formulation; CAS and comonomer identity; upstream resin route and provider; natural unpigmented construction; one-piece bore seal and band/tether drawing; neck finish and intended cold-fill still-water conditions; dimensional leak torque and tamper-band acceptance plan; first-release Q and unique unit/lot history; measured cap net mass and packaging tare; WIP and FG opening/closing masses and inherited exchange vectors; failed/zero-output/start-stop/idle/cleanup/rework records; electricity voltage and supply geography; actual water supply/return and heat boundaries; actual emission species and receiving media; separate physical packaging forms and return/reuse boundary | Declare every qualifier in the reference dataset context. The complete native cap/route limits are also part of each adopted cap inventory description below; no bare UUID establishes applicability. ## 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 | Q is the calibrated net mass in kg of new cap units first passing the complete declared release plan during the selected cohort period. Deduplicate unit/lot acceptance history; exclude packaging, previously released FG, repeat tests and returned-unit reinspection. Measure gross/tare and conditioning state. If counts are used, measure configuration-specific accepted cap mass M by traceable calibrated sampling/weighing with defined mould/neck/resin/band scope and uncertainty; Q = accepted new count times measured M. No assumed grams per cap or density from a flow coefficient. | | single_normalization | all inventory rows | | | All collection protocols record raw unnormalised amounts. Convert actual original units/rates, reconcile stock vectors and assign shared exchanges before normalize_once. Cards and protocol aggregation reference that same result, never another division. Keep failed batches and start/stop, idle, cleaning and rework loads. If Q<=0, retain actual loads and uncertainty with no unit result. | | unit_state | all inventory rows | | | Integrated liquid/gas volumes are converted with independently established density of that substance at recorded composition/pressure/temperature; do not multiply an integrated volume by time again. Integrate genuine rates first. Preserve electricity separately from heat: kWh to MJ uses 3.6. Hydraulic fluid has a Volume/m3 identity; obtain an independent actual-fluid density or weighed mass for physical balance, not a water density or secondary-property coefficient. Water volume coefficients likewise do not replace supply-state measurement. | ## 5. System Boundary ### Boundary Abstraction | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | declared_starting_condition | Purchased closure-grade HDPE pellets as complete commercial formulation and actual supply packaging | | starting_condition_role | foreground_entry | | product_classification_scope | CPC 3.0 36490; narrower | | recursive_input_rule | Internal pre-release regrind cancels with inherited burdens retained; finished returned caps stay under original release cohort; no purchased finished-cap manufacturing substitution | | upstream_dataset_requirement | Each actual external input needs an independently compatible provider at its true supply form/state/boundary; a broad flow UUID does not verify its supplier | | disclosure | China site; full conversion route; first-release Q; WIP/FG inheritance; separate observed packing/storage/dispatch services; all real utility/species/package pathways | | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | b_route | all inventory rows | Include complete resin-to-cap conversion and actual inbound supply transport. Supplier resin formulation is one purchased whole mass, not separately purchased polymer plus its already included stabiliser/comonomer. Assays are constituent subledgers. An actual separately dosed formulation needs its own whole supplied-grade row; genuine in-house compounding needs each externally purchased constituent plus real processing energy/losses and renewed scope review. No assumed mixing recipe or polymerisation burden inside the converter. | `borealis-mb5568-2017`; `ifc-plastics-2007` | | b_q_gate | all inventory rows | The manufacturing product is Q at first quality release. A current-cohort closing FG cap is already in Q and is not another production output. released_cap and fg_in are an internal pair: cancel them when combining manufacturing and the separately reported FG service ledger. Gross outward caps and stock changes are physical movements, not additional manufacture. Delivery, reinspection and returns never generate another Q. Keep historical FG/returns under their original release cohorts; allocate their actual service/rework separately from current production. | `bericap-hdpe-cap`; `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | b_wip | all inventory rows | Track opening/closing raw stock and WIP including hopper/barrel melt, moulded uninspected caps, band-finishing queues and clean regrind. Each cohort carries a separate inherited vector for every material, utility, packaging, waste and emission exchange. Preserve both physical stocks and burden vectors across periods; no reset at first acceptance or rework. Failed/zero-output campaigns retain all incurred burdens and an explicit future assignment or separate unresolved account, never deletion. Separately held raw, installed-item and equipment-fluid/water/refrigerant reservoirs carry their own opening/closing physical quantities and each inherited exchange vector outside WIP. Reconcile these distinct stores once; an installed stock is not automatically current consumption and no quantity belongs simultaneously to WIP and another store. | `borealis-mb5568-2017`; `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | b_utilities | all inventory rows | Include actual feed conveying, barrel/hot-runner heating, clamp/injection drive, mould cooling, ventilation, compressed-air production, band finishing, QC and recovery energy. Meter common systems and avoid double-counting purchased compressed air/heat with supplier generation energy. The nominal non-reactive electric route requires no invented steam or boiler. If external heat-exchange water actually enters and is returned, keep supply and Product return separately with composition, temperatures, pressure/enthalpy and supplier water/energy agreement. Internal recirculation cancels; evaporation/blowdown remain real outputs. | `husky-hycap4-2016`; `ifc-plastics-2007` | | b_atomic | all inventory rows | Each listed card is one exchange. Apply conditional cards only when its named substance/form actually occurs; distinguish measured absence from unknown. Add each actual different raw material, treatment chemical, fuel, purchased heat, refrigerant, package, waste destination and identified emitted species as another atomic row before modelling. Do not hide an actual input/output under zero or an unnamed other stream. The n-butane card is conditional on species identification; IFC high-temperature screening does not prove a factory emission. COD/TOC/VOC indicators cannot be converted to arbitrary chemical masses. | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | b_physical | all inventory rows | Check total physical mass and independently check C/H/O and any formulation-relevant element using supplier composition/assays or independent analyses. Separate unreacted/free water, evaporation and any independently evidenced reaction water; the nominal route is non-reactive melt shaping and has no assumed reaction water. Any actual bound/structural water remains assigned to its measured host phase until independently evidenced release; do not invent hydration water in HDPE. Do not fit two unknown species with one residual or equate missing polymer to gas. For any actual oxidation/capture/treatment include its genuine reactants, distinct species, air/water transfers and residues with measured states. Service and transport coefficients are not material mass inputs. | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | b_packaging | all inventory rows | Keep post-release packing/handling/FG storage and dispatch in cp_fg and cp_pack by actual release cohort. For every packaging form reconcile opening empty/attached-to-WIP/attached-to-FG/reusable stocks plus purchases plus external returns received against closing stocks plus gross outward carriage plus returns to external owners plus waste. Internal reuse cancels; include its actual washing/repair/handling burdens without new purchase, new cap Q or automatic coproduct. Separate resin-supply sacks from cap shipping packs. | `sacmi-ccm-2018`; `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | b_classification | all inventory rows | CPC3.0 36490 provides a broader classification locator only. This one-piece HDPE injection-cap method is narrower; container manufacture, other closure constructions and other forming routes are not covered merely by this code. Classification does not create PCR identity or an accepted mapping. | `un-cpc-2025` | ## 6. Process Inventory Structure ### Process Map | process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | manufacture | Raw supply through injection finishing and first release | required | All actual operations in the selected manufacturing cohort | foreground | Q kg first release; released_cap is the sole linked reference row | | fg_service | Actual post-release FG logistics by cohort | required | Retain all actual storage packing handling dispatch and return services through declared observation closing date | foreground_service | Movement/service ledger using original release cohort Q; not additional production | Each card below is a complete atomic exchange with its own physical state and protocol. Conditional occurrences require actual evidence, not an assumed zero. Product outputs in the FG account are physical carriage/returns; the single reference link remains released_cap. Preserve all stock and service conditions in sections5/7/8 when consuming a card. ### Process: Raw supply through injection finishing and first release (`manufacture`) #### Inputs ##### Product flows ###### Whole purchased HDPE pellet formulation (`hdpe_pellets`) Record net pellet withdrawals with raw-stock changes and supplier grade/assay/supply form. This is the full formulation as received; no additional slip/antistatic agent is presumed. Native Product identity is high-density polyethylene granulate from slurry or gas-phase processing at plant; all native properties are Mass only and CAS/grade/comonomer is absent. Its CPC34170 classification is inconsistent with the coherent granulate name/route and is disclosed, not silently repaired. Use one complete purchased closure-grade pellet formulation; verify the actual upstream route and composition independently. MB5568 PDS CAS25087-34-7 is source-specific evidence, not a CAS reported by this UUID and not proof of grade/provider equivalence. No duplicate purchase of constituents already contained in the pellets. - Selected flow: polyethylene high density granulate (PE-HD) `4f19f115-7b3b-11dd-ad8b-0800200c9a66` - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_material` - Sources: `borealis-mb5568-2017` ###### Manufacturing electricity (`electricity_mfg`) Submeter feed/heating/drive/cooling/air production/ventilation/finishing/QC and recovery; retain all start-stop, failure, idle and cleaning readings. Count purchased utilities only at the correct supplier boundary. Native Product is CN grid-average consumption mix supplied to the user at <1kV. Its reference property is Net calorific value with energy reference unit MJ; this is the database electricity identity convention, not combustion of an electricity fuel. Apply only to that metered boundary/voltage/geography and a compatible temporal provider. Record other actual voltages/generation under independently verified identities; do not transplant this flow. - Selected flow: Alternating current `50657322-939c-4829-a87b-47c093bfa6a7` - Flow property / unit: Net calorific value `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` / MJ - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_energy` - Sources: `husky-hycap4-2016`; `ifc-plastics-2007` ###### Cooling-loop make-up (`cooling_makeup`) Measure actual treated tap-water make-up and opening/closing loop inventory. No repeatedly purchased internal circulation volume; disclose any actual biocide/antifoulant separately. Native Product is treated municipal/public potable supply to industry at plant; it is not raw abstraction, deionised water or a cooling-water return. Reference Mass/kg; the native secondary Volume factor0.001 does not establish actual supply-state density. Determine density independently if converting volume. Use only the actual treated tap-water portion and keep recycled/external heat-exchange water distinct. - Selected flow: Tap water `d1e0e36c-07f0-4a75-bdcb-efb5d9e2ac36` - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_water` - Sources: `ifc-plastics-2007` ###### Equipment and floor washing water (`wash_water`) Measure the actual treated tap-water portion for equipment/housekeeping washes separately from cooling make-up and from whole supplied aqueous cleaner. Record wash liquid and residues by their real outgoing paths. Native Product is treated municipal/public potable supply to industry at plant; it is not raw abstraction, deionised water or a cooling-water return.

Do not prescribe a hydraulic press where the actual machine is electric. Native Product is one complete engineered hydraulic-fluid formulation containing mineral or synthetic base oil with additives, with no fixed grade/route/geography and Volume as its sole property. Collect actual whole formulation in m3; component assays are subledgers, not extra purchases. Resolve fluid-specific density or weighed mass independently for kg closure. This identity does not establish compatibility with the particular hydraulic circuit or substitute for gear lubricant. - Selected flow: Hydraulic Fluid `30691a38-a947-4b41-991e-194f6c9aa88f` - Flow property / unit: Volume `93a60a56-a3c8-22da-a746-0800200c9a66` / m3 - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_material` - Sources: `husky-hycap4-2016` ###### Externally supplied compressed air (`purchased_air`) Only actual external supply for conveying/finishing/air tests. Record delivered gas composition, integrated volume or mass, pressure/temperature and supplier compressor boundary; on-site compressor electricity belongs to electricity_mfg, without a second purchased-air load. - Selected flow: Compressed air - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_energy` - Sources: `sacmi-ccm-2018` ###### External heat-exchange water supply (`external_cooling_supply`) Only when a real external cooling-water service crosses the gate. Record water quality, gross physical inflow and heat state; agree supplier water and cooling-energy burdens and pair the genuine return. Do not invent this service for an on-site closed loop. - Selected flow: Heat-exchange water supplied as liquid - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_water` - Sources: `ifc-plastics-2007` ###### Replacement melt-filter screen (`filter_screen`) Conditional on the actual filtration assembly.

This is the internal handoff to fg_in when the service account is combined. Preserve the complete native and product restrictions below. Native identity is the cap subset of CN at-plant production mix for cap/pump/sprayer closures; not an unspecified global market. Use here only the unpigmented one-piece HDPE bore-seal screw cap with declared band/neck, cold-fill still-water test plan and first-release/cohort state. No native HDPE grade, item mass or supplier process is certified. This physical family match does not make a pump/sprayer interchangeable. - Selected flow: Primary packaging, plastic closure `0161e346-2ac3-48be-b61d-e94ebb6f4b0f` - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: 1 kg - Value mode: `fixed_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `identity_reference` - Collection protocol: `cp_release` - Sources: `bericap-hdpe-cap`; `borealis-mb5568-2017` ###### External cooling-water Product return (`external_cooling_return`) Only actual liquid returned to an external water/utility supplier, with measured mass, quality and enthalpy/temperature. This is a Product return under the actual supply agreement, not wastewater or a second credited heat product. No assumed condensate or steam loop. - Selected flow: Returned liquid heat-exchange water - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_water` - Sources: `ifc-plastics-2007` ###### Returned woven PP resin supply sack (`out_resin_sack`) Only genuine empty sacks returned to an external supplier/owner; keep receipt, reuse and scrap events distinct in the supply-pack ledger. No automatic coproduct or avoided-sack credit. - Selected flow: Woven polypropylene resin supply sack - Flow property / unit: Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` / kg - Amount rule: a_i, the single final result defined in section 8; do not divide again. - Value mode: `calculated_value` - Specificity: `site_specific` - Normalization basis: per 1 kg reference flow - Basis kind: `reference_flow` - Evidence kind: `calculated_from_collection` - Collection protocol: `cp_supply_pack` - Sources: `jrc-ilcd-2010` ###### Actual externally recovered R134a return (`recovered_r134a`) Only genuine recovered R134a CAS811-97-2 transferred to an external supplier/recovery operator as a Product return at its actual condition. Weigh the recovered gas and container tare independently, retain circuit stock/charge history and actual receiver agreement.

Allocation and Co-product Handling | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | a_scope | all inventory rows | Use this hierarchy only after the study justifies an attributional scenario requiring allocation rather than substitution. Industrial brochures do not establish an LCA allocation choice. Identify distinct products/services and true joint process boundaries; product-specific recipe/operation data are not shared merely because one press or warehouse is used. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | a_subdivide | all inventory rows | First collect separate dedicated operations and use actual or virtual subdivision to assign independently attributable resin, machine intervals, band finishing, testing, rejects and rework to their own cap configuration/cohort. Assess infeasibility and distortion explicitly before retaining a shared pool. Separate pre-release recovery from post-release return inspection and historical FG services. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | a_causality | all inventory rows | For each residual exchange identify and substantiate the determining physical causal relationship. Metered variable drive/heating demand, cooling duty, actual use-time and capacity-limiting storage/transport occupancy can differ by exchange. Demonstrate which factor determines that exchange and relevant intensity variation. A convenient mass, cycle or cavity ratio is not sufficient; do not impose one physical criterion on all exchanges. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | a_market | all inventory rows | Only for truly residual exchanges without a supported determining physical relationship use representative contemporaneous market values at the same actual joint-process exit gate and physical state/quality/quantity. Remove later packing/transport/processing value when deriving gate prices; document zero/negative values and unresolved price evidence rather than force a positive ratio. Keep exclusive later burdens exclusive. Preserve sensitivity and ensure all assigned exchange vectors sum to the original pool. No fixed fractions or automatic recovery credit. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | a_recovery | all inventory rows | Internal clean regrind is an internal loop, not another purchase or valuable coproduct by declaration. Assign real recovery energy/losses and inherited burdens without multiplying virgin input. Outgoing scrap requires documented waste/product status, treatment and downstream boundary; do not infer a recycling rate, zero burden, avoided virgin credit or annex14 recycling allocation from this bounded production hierarchy. Separate evidence and review are necessary before applying any such model. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | asset_manufacture_conservation | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | Within the applicable allocation decision context, original manufacture burden attributed across uses of actual capital equipment or reusable articles already included in foreground production, packaging or observed services uses one persistent same-asset ledger across all crops, products, cohorts, manufacturing/postrelease services, owners and observation periods. D is its supported whole installed service: all realized historical service plus supported remaining service in the same units as actual beneficiary use u; D must be finite and positive. Period capacity, remaining-only capacity, the physical asset/article mass alone, or current-period product Q alone is not D; supported whole-service throughput in mass units may be used when it demonstrates the causal service and matches u. This does not amortize the manufactured reference product over downstream life or change its declared reference gate/Q. The fractions u/D and all previously assigned manufacture shares together must never exceed 1. Changes of window, custody, provider or repair never restart the original manufacture balance. Replacements have distinct identities and only their real new manufacture vectors; actual repair and treatment increments remain separately accounted. Revised capacity evidence requires transparent reconciliation of prior shares and sensitivity, not a fresh ledger. Keep full physical mass and stock movements independent of burden shares. Unknown D, prior shares or beneficiary coverage requires review and no final manufacture-attributed amount; no assumed lifetime, utilization, zero or arbitrary division is permitted. For each existing collection protocol that attributes manufacture of included production, packaging or observed-service assets across uses in this route (excluding amortization of the manufactured reference product itself), additionally retain a durable asset identity, its measured full physical mass and acquisition/installation/retirement stock history, original manufacture burden vector, all historical and current beneficiaries, matched-unit service readings, the evidenced whole installed-service denominator D, supported remaining-service basis and uncertainty, prior assigned shares and remaining original manufacture balance. Carry the ledger across reporting windows and custody/provider changes. Collect actual repair, replacement, recovery and treatment separately; these records do not normalize physical movements or create an additional asset purchase. These are added fields and conservation obligations for the existing applicable protocols, not a new assumed capital inventory. | | ## 8.

A_i is the raw exchange numerator after actual unit/rate conversion, attribution and inherited WIP/cohort corrections; Q is kg of newly first-released caps in the selected release cohort. Execute once only for Q>0. Manufacturing and observed service contributions are identified separately; every card and aggregation references this same result. released_cap is the 1 kg identity, not another division. | A_i; Q; cp_release | a_i | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | release_gate | released_cap | Q = sum of unique first-released new-unit net mass in kg under cp_release. Where counts are used, configuration-specific measured cap mass converts count to kg; preserve its sampling scope and uncertainty. Already released FG, repeat tests, physical returns and dispatch are not new Q. | first_release_net_mass; accepted_new_count; measured_cap_mass; cp_release | Q | `bericap-hdpe-cap` | | raw_conversion | all inventory rows | U_i = raw readings converted to the row unit before attribution. Weighed kg needs no density. Integrated volume times independently measured same-substance/state density yields kg; genuine volume rates are integrated first. Hydraulic m3 retains its volume identity; physical kg subledger is separate. Electricity E_MJ = 3.6 times metered E_kWh; heat and electricity stay separate. No time multiplier on integrated readings and no implicit item mass. | raw_reading; raw_unit; actual_rate_intervals; actual_density_state; cp_material; cp_energy; cp_water; cp_species | U_i | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | wip_vector | manufacture | For each exchange i, A_i_manufacture = opening_WIP_i + opening_separately_held_i + current_new_assigned_U_i - closing_WIP_i - closing_separately_held_i - independently_evidenced_distinct_assignments_i. Separately held vectors cover raw supplies, installed items, cooling/other water, hydraulic fluid, solvent and refrigerant charges where actually present, with physical quantities reconciled independently. current_new_assigned_U_i includes only newly incurred external-receipt and process-load vectors before these stock corrections; internal withdrawal is not an additional purchase. If a directly measured consumption vector already includes a particular stock correction, prove equivalence and apply that correction once only. Keep actual manufacturing losses and waste-treatment burdens in the intended cap cohort, not subtraction credits. Disjoint WIP/non-WIP ownership prevents duplicate stock terms; historical charge depletion without makeup retains its inherited burden. Failed/zero-output pools and later assignment history remain; mass alone cannot invent an exchange vector. | opening_WIP_vector; opening_separately_held_vector; current_new_assigned_U; closing_WIP_vector; closing_separately_held_vector; distinct_assignments; cp_material; cp_water; cp_wip; cp_allocation | A_i_manufacture | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | fg_vectors | fg_service | For each release cohort preserve its original released exchange vector and original Q. Opening inherited FG vector plus internal Q receipt vector plus actual returned vector plus current attributable service vector equals closing FG vector plus gross outward vector plus discarded/treatment vector plus any independently evidenced emissions. Physical returns and original-delivery reversals are distinct signed records. Service burdens for historical cohorts use their own original cohort, never unrelated current Q; observed services do not reset manufacturing burden. | opening_FG_vector; Q_receipt_vector; returned_vector; current_service_vector; closing_FG_vector; gross_outward_vector; discarded_vector; cp_fg | A_i_service and reconciled cohort vectors | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | physical_gates | all inventory rows | Manufacturing mass: opening material/WIP/auxiliary-fluid stocks + external material inputs = closing stocks + Q + external return/waste/emission masses. Internal regrind cancels. Cap-only FG mass: opening FG + Q + physical cap returns = closing FG + gross cap departures + discarded caps + any confirmed cap-derived emissions. The combined gate cancels the internal Q pair: opening manufacturing+FG stocks plus external material inputs and cap returns = closing manufacturing+FG stocks plus gross cap departures and real external return/waste/emission masses. Package balances are checked separately then included once in the combined all-material gate. Q is not added again beside its closing FG. | opening_material_WIP_FG_stock; external_material_inputs; Q; cap_returns; closing_material_WIP_FG_stock; gross_cap_departures; external_mass_exits; cp_wip; cp_fg; cp_water; cp_waste | independent manufacturing FG and combined mass closures | `ifc-plastics-2007`; `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | package_balance | cp_pack; cp_supply_pack | For each physical packaging form k: opening_empty_k + opening_attached_WIP_k + opening_attached_FG_k + opening_reusable_k + purchased_k + external_returns_received_k = closing_empty_k + closing_attached_WIP_k + closing_attached_FG_k + closing_reusable_k + gross_carried_outward_k + returned_to_external_owner_k + waste_k. Internal reuse transfers cancel, and its real service loads remain. Split different forms/materials; exclude package mass from cap Q and never net gross package carriage against returned cap mass. | opening_package_states; purchased_packages; external_returns_received; closing_package_states; gross_carried_outward; returned_to_external_owner; package_waste; cp_pack; cp_supply_pack | each package-form physical closure | `sacmi-ccm-2018`; `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | species_and_elements | cp_species; cp_water | Quantify each real species/phase independently and retain gross physical transfer separately from net environmental transfer after matched measured ambient-carrier cancellation; evaluate elemental input/output vectors from actual composition/analysis separately from total mass. Measured water supply/storage/return/blowdown/drift/leak/vapour terms share one coherent water gate. At most one unidentified scalar can be constrained by one independent residual; more unknowns require more measurement and remain incomplete. No deliberate reaction water in this non-reactive nominal route. | species_measurements; composition_assays; independent_elemental_data; water_path_measurements; cp_species; cp_water | species phase and elemental reconciliations | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | exchange_allocation | all inventory rows | For exchange i first assign exclusive/subdivided/virtually subdivided U_i. Apply supported determining physical drivers only to its residual shared pool. Only its truly remaining pool uses contemporaneous actual same-gate market values after documented earlier-step infeasibility. Sum all cohort/product/service assigned exchange vectors to the original pool before normalize_once; no fixed allocation fraction. | U_i; exclusive_assignments; residual_shared_pool; physical_drivers; actual_gate_values; cp_allocation | A_i | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | asset_manufacture_share | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | For each included original asset manufacture vector B, f_current = u_current / D only after the persistent ledger verifies the supported whole installed-service denominator, all beneficiaries and prior assigned shares. Attribute f_current * B once to the actual beneficiary before the existing single reference normalization. Check prior_shares + all current/new beneficiary shares <= 1; carry the remaining original balance. Capacity revisions reconcile the historical ledger. Full physical asset/packaging mass and actual gross stocks/returns never receive f_current. Unknown D or history leaves the final attributed result unavailable, without suppressing actual repair/replacement/service burdens. | asset_id; original_B; u_current; D; historical_beneficiaries; prior_shares; capacity_evidence | conserved attributed manufacture vector | | ### Data Quality Requirements | requirement_id | Applies to | Requirement | Evidence | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | dq_identity | all inventory rows | Verify full actual supplier/form/state and all adopted native restrictions; preserve missing auxiliary identity/provider as a data gap rather than a new generic bundle. | Direct identity context plus current supplier PDS/SDS/composition and exact support chain | | dq_measurement | all inventory rows | Preserve raw originals, original units/rates, calibration, independent substance-state densities where needed, detection limits and uncertainty; do not substitute an indicative brochure coefficient for measurement. | Instrument files; laboratory and mass/energy/water reconciliations | | dq_scope | all inventory rows | Cover the entire selected cohort and time/geographic scope, including failure, start-stop, idle, cleaning and rework. Report measured absence versus unknown and the observed service closing date; future service loads are not fabricated. | Mode logs; cohort/period genealogy; completeness and exclusions register | | dq_stocks | cp_wip; cp_fg; cp_pack; cp_supply_pack | Retain per-exchange inherited vectors as well as mass for all opening/closing stocks and returns; reconcile all three physical gates and each packaging form independently of allocation. | Signed physical stocktakes; vector ledgers; package-form closure | | dq_sources | all inventory rows | Maintain source id/type/reference/used_for and rule source links with complete applicability/countercontext. Qualitative primary facts are not quantitative site records or scientific/translation approval. | Full primary context; protocol records; unresolved-method and supplier-data disclosure | ## 9. Validation Rules | rule_id | applies_to | rule | source_ids | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | v_identity | all inventory rows | Check every scope/qualifier and full native name, route, state, geography, CAS where present, type, receiving medium and reference-property support. Cap UUID is CN at-plant production mix for a cap/pump/sprayer family: use only the one-piece cap subset, never proof of HDPE grade, compliance or a provider. HDPE granulate UUID is slurry/gas-phase at-plant mass identity with no CAS/grade; disclose its inconsistent CPC34170 label without treating that label as physical evidence. Reject any real contradictory CAS, particle form or route. | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | v_q | all inventory rows | Verify cp_release, one explicit reference link released_cap, Q deduplication and one normalize_once operation. Reconcile WIP exchange vectors, failed/zero-output loads and all actual unit conversions before normalisation. Repeat release/dispatch cannot increase Q. Q<=0 or missing critical measured relations prevent a defensible unit result and remain explicit incomplete data. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | v_gates | all inventory rows | Reconcile manufacturing, FG and combined physical control volumes independently of allocation. Cancel internal release/regrind transfers. Current closing FG is contained in Q, not Q plus another product. Every physical and inherited burden remainder must have an identified stock, discharge, waste or independently assigned service destination. Actual return-repair load belongs to its original released cohort/service; no new production from reinspection. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | v_species | all inventory rows | Compare total mass and relevant elemental closure with independently quantified species/water pathways. No residual-fitted chemical emissions; no COD/VOC-to-species invention. Retain unknowns, detection limits, uncertainty and unresolved sinks separately. Confirm actual environmental medium; water-vapour UUID means ordinary unspecified-air emission, not stratospheric or long-term release. | `ifc-plastics-2007` | | v_packaging | all inventory rows | Check each packaging identity/form/stock balance in cp_pack including empty, attached and reusable stocks; gross outward packages follow actual gross carriage, not net cap delivery. No internal reuse repurchase or packaging mass in cap Q. Distinguish one whole commercial tape/carton article from duplicate backing/adhesive/constituent purchases. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | v_applicability | all inventory rows | Check resin use conditions and cap test plan independently of broad identities. MB5568 historical PDS supports a water-cap injection route, but typical values and its customer-test disclaimer do not certify a current final cap. MB5569 explicitly not recommended for bottled water cannot be substituted by name similarity. BERICAP geometry, Husky injection architecture and SACMI downstream operations are a transparent synthesis, not a proven same-SKU line. Missing ordinary provider/auxiliary data are disclosed; a genuine core product/terminal/method gap holds methodology as draft. | `bericap-hdpe-cap`; `borealis-mb5568-2017`; `borealis-mb5569-counter`; `husky-hycap4-2016`; `sacmi-ccm-2018` | | v_data | all inventory rows | Require source-specific primary context, raw readings, calibration, coverage, all reported source fields and uncertainty. No missing exchange is zero; unavailable auxiliary identity is not permission for a collection row. Preserve distinct foreground measurement, author protocol, external process fact and identity evidence. Confirm bilingual rules and generated projection retain all conditions and ancestors; engineering success is not science, translation, mapping or publication approval. | `jrc-ilcd-2010` | | validate_asset_manufacture_conservation | existing capital/reusable manufacture attribution | For every included capital/reusable manufacture attribution verify same-asset continuity, whole installed service in matched units, all historical/current beneficiaries, prior assigned manufacture shares and cumulative share <= 1. Reject a reset by period, cohort, provider, owner or repair. Check distinct real replacement and incremental repair/treatment vectors separately and preserve gross physical mass. A missing denominator, unexplained previous allocation or incomplete beneficiary ledger requires explicit review and an unavailable final attributed amount; structural inspection cannot claim empirical completeness. | | ## 10.
