# Injection-moulded PA66 threaded insulating bushings

This attributional PCR covers one specified single-piece electrically nonconductive PA66 threaded smooth-bore insulating bushing: a complete moulded article that converts an internally threaded equipment port into a smooth insulated cable passage. Manufacture starts with the entire purchased already formulated unreinforced PA66 pellets, including their supplied colour/stabilizer package, and includes receipt, moisture verification and actual drying, transfer, screw plastication, injection/holding, mould cooling, unscrewing/ejection, gate removal, eligible single-grade regrinding, inspection and unique first quality release. The released state is cooled, as-moulded and not deliberately moisture-conditioned; actual moisture and test conditioning state must be declared. Actual post-release packing, warehouse, handling, dispatch and returned-article inspection remain separate original-cohort services. [heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; basf-ultramid-processing; ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007]

Native insulating-fitting identity establishes a manufactured finished Product flow, production mix at plant and Mass only. It fixes no PA66 grade, CAS, geometry, thread, route, voltage, service life or geography; all such compatibility comes from the declared actual configuration and supplier/test evidence. Its awkward translated general comment adds no performance claim.

Exclude metal or ceramic fittings, cable/wire, whole electrical equipment/enclosures or lamps, liquid-tight glands with seals, strain-relief assemblies, snap-in multi-piece bushings, conductive/antistatic formulations, glass/mineral reinforcement, foams, PA6 or other polymers, reactive polymerization, insert/overmoulding, multi-material moulding, machining from rod, onsite colour/masterbatch compounding, coating/printing, intentional post-mould waterbath/humid-air conditioning or annealing, purchased-finished-bushing repacking and installation/use/end-of-life. These are real route distinctions, not assumed zeros. If an actual operation differs, reassess applicability and add all actual atomic exchanges before claiming this method.

Heyco independently establishes the real nonconductive Nylon6/6 threaded smooth-bore terminal. BASF supplies grade-dependent pellet/drying, injection, regrind and conditioning countercontexts; IFC independently distinguishes non-reactive PA66 forming from reactive polyamide manufacture and other routes. This is a transparent technical synthesis, not one common SKU, recipe, factory or contemporary order. No manufacturer dimension, density, recipe fraction, process setpoint, regrind percentage, yield, emission factor, life, rating or certification is transferred. In particular BASF Table7/8/10 and shrinkage figures concern particular grades/test geometries; the separate humid/waterbath conditioning route is not silently included. Heyco ratings apply to its own products only. [heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; basf-ultramid-processing; ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007]

| What | Provide the declared equipment-port cable-passage insulation and edge protection |
| How much | 1 kg measured net newly first-released complete bushings of the same configuration |
| How well | Actual drawing/thread fit and declared electrical/mechanical specification tested in its stated moisture condition; no rating inferred from generic identity |
| How long or cycle | One manufacturing cohort through first release; any service life is a separately evidenced qualifier |
| reference_flow_link | finished |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 |
| Reference product flow | Electrical insulating fittings of plastics `4007e0ff-48e4-4968-8607-ec10e8123c59` |
| Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |

Every required qualifier must be declared in the actual foreground package; absence means incomplete reference definition.

## 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 | Reference quantity is 1 kg net complete bare newly first-released bushings in the declared actual moisture/weighing state; cp_release measures lot mass and counts without inventing kg/item. |
| raw_units | all inventory rows | Actual exchange property | actual exchange unit | Integrate true rates only; do not multiply integrated amounts by time. Volume-to-mass requires independent substance/state density, never inferred from secondary conversion factors. Convert original units/states and allocate before reading the one stored section8 normalization result. |

## 5. System Boundary

### Boundary Abstraction

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| declared_starting_condition | Actual already formulated PA66 pellets at supplier handover with inbound transport and actual utility supplies; full raw-to-article foreground manufacture |
| starting_condition_role | Converter manufacture from purchased whole compound; upstream formulation/polymerization remains linked |
| product_classification_scope | Only the section1 subset of CPC3.0:36980 |
| recursive_input_rule | Bought finished bushings cannot replace the manufacturing chain. Internal regrind and released-cohort transfers carry vectors and cancel on consolidation; returns are original-cohort service |
| upstream_dataset_requirement | Each whole supply and transport needs compatible grade form state geography period and supplier scope; UUID establishes no upstream inventory |
| disclosure | Disclose drawing formulation route moisture gate cohort original-unit records WIP/FG/utility stocks service interval allocation and completeness |

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| b_complete | manufacture | Include inbound transport/receipt, actual drying and transfer, plastication, filling/holding/cooling, thread release/ejection, trimming, permitted granulation, inspection and destructive tests. Retain every failed/start/stop/idle/zero-output/cleanup/rework load. No purchased finished article substitutes for manufacture. | basf-ultramid-processing; ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007 |
| b_q | finished | Q is actual net kg of uniquely first-quality-released complete bushings in the matched cohort and stated moisture condition. Closing FG already released is included in Q, not another manufacturing output. Shipment, old stock, reinspection, external return or repair does not create Q. Never invent item kg or density; sum calibrated net weighings and reconcile actual counts. | heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; basf-ultramid-processing |
| b_vectors | all inventory rows | Keep disjoint raw-stock, WIP, released-FG and utility/equipment ledgers. Every opening/closing stock carries quantity, stage, composition and inherited exchange vector. Manufacturing A_j_c contains actual attributable current raw expenditure + opening inherited raw/WIP vectors - closing carried raw/WIP vectors, with evidenced output/waste attribution. Regrind is an internal burden-carrying transfer, never a second purchase or burden-free input. Failed production retains its load. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007; basf-ultramid-processing |
| b_services | released_service | Retain actual packing/warehouse/handling/dispatch/returns/inspection and real incremental repairs in original-cohort service accounts. Carry opening/closing FG production and service vectors and reverse the original dispatch attribution on return. Old cohorts retain their original denominator and history; never divide their loads by new Q. Include only the declared observed service interval and disclose remaining future services. | heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings |
| b_physical | manufacture; released_service | For manufacturing material mass: actual external material inputs + opening raw stock + opening WIP + opening utility/equipment charge stocks = new first release + closing raw stock + closing WIP + closing utility/equipment charge stocks + each external material output/loss. Each stock/stream occupies one disjoint account; reconcile each utility charge separately without counting it twice. Energy/service units are not added into a mass balance. For each matched water control body and interval, use independently evidenced gross atmospheric entry and actual gross desorption/evaporation/condensate outlets; product net moisture change is derived, not a second boundary stream or a substitute for gross entry. Trace actual condensate sources, retaining water phase/compartment and distinguishing atmospheric resource entry from emitted vapour and water already carried by whole material/air/liquid supplies; cancel internal circulation. Released FG: opening FG + first release + external article returns + independently measured actual post-release moisture gains = closing FG + gross physical dispatch + rejects + independently measured actual post-release moisture losses. Post-release water changes never create new Q. Cancel internal release and regrind in the combined gate. Close total wet/dry mass and relevant C/N and formulation elements independently from chemical species/phase evidence. Free/absorbed water, true reaction water and structural water are distinct; nonreactive forming creates no assumed polymerization water. Do not fit two unknowns with one residual or call VOC/COD a chemical mass. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007; basf-ultramid-processing |
| b_utility_stocks | manufacture | Independently close each actual cooling-water circuit, hydraulic-oil inventory and refrigerant charge: opening + actual external supply/returns = closing + outgoing return/recovery + blowdown/waste + genuine leakage/evaporation/uptake. Preserve charge-specific inherited vectors and service periods, not the whole repeated charge each batch. Internal circulation is neither fresh purchase nor new discharge. Actual external heat-exchange water supply/return retains paired physical streams, temperatures/enthalpy and supplier water/energy convention; no presumed boiler/steam/condensate. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007 |
| b_packages | released_service | For EACH physical bag, carton and pallet separately: opening empty + opening attached WIP/FG + opening reusable pool + separate package purchases + supplier-included inbound packages + external returns received = closing empty + closing attached WIP/FG + closing reusable pool + outward with gross physical shipments + outward returns + waste. Include incoming supplier packaging and packages attached to returned articles. Internal reuse cancels; packaging never enters Q, another purchase or automatic co-product. Physical outward mass is not reduced by allocation or reuse. | heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007 |
| b_additions | all inventory rows | A conditional card is used only for its actual named substance/article and state. Add a separate card/protocol/destination for every real additional fuel, heat, cleaner, purge material, filter, package, water stream or identified emission species; never hide it in zero or other. Materially changed processing requires evidence and applicability review. This electric nonreactive route presumes no combustion or particular decomposition-gas species. | basf-ultramid-processing; ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007 |

## 6. Process Inventory Structure

### Process Map

| process_id | process_name | inclusion | inclusion_condition | role | quantitative_reference |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| manufacture | Complete bushing manufacture | required | Actual supplied-pellet to as-moulded endpoint in section1 | All failures/idle/WIP and utilities included | first-release net kg Q_c |
| released_service | Original-cohort post-release services | required | Declared observed actual service interval | Original FG/packages/custody/incremental services | same cohort original release kg; no new Q |

The following atomic exchanges apply only when actually evidenced; occurrence at every factory is not assumed, and an unknown is not zero. Each card first collects undivided raw amounts then reads the same stored section8 result; services retain original cohorts. Supplier/route changes require all additional cards.

### Process: Complete bushing manufacture (`manufacture`)

#### Inputs

##### Product flows

###### Nylon 6-6 (`pa66_compound`)

Entire purchased preformulated unreinforced nonconductive PA66 granule supply, including supplier-added pigment/stabilizer, counted once. Native PA66 synonyms and Mass agree; no CAS, grade, granule form, additives, manufacturing route or geography is fixed. Its35499 classification is imprecise chemistry metadata, not a contrary chemical identity. Supplier formulation, actual delivery form and upstream provider must be compatible; the general chemical-resistance comment is not a test claim. Internal regrind remains a separate physical/vector subledger, not this purchase.

- Selected flow: Nylon 6-6 `f4655f45-e177-42e9-8746-f91670315292`

###### Electricity (`electricity`)

Actual electricity for receipt/drying/feed, barrel and mould heat, electric drives or hydraulic pumps, cooling/chilling, onsite air compression, recovery, ventilation, testing and cleanup/idle. Submeter or causally allocate raw meters; avoid counting compressor/chiller electricity again through a purchased service. Actual voltage, supplier geography and generation mix remain required; no fixed-voltage/geography candidate is presumed generic.

###### Mineral hydraulic oil preparation (`hydraulic_oil`)

Only actual hydraulic equipment: count the complete supplied oil formulation once, with charge opening/closing stock, top-up, service interval, recovered oil and leaks. A fully electric machine does not imply this exchange.

###### Purchased compressed air (`compressed_air`)

Only actually external compressed-air supply; retain actual pressure, temperature, dryness and volume reference conditions. Onsite production uses actual compressor electricity and losses instead of a second purchased air burden. Integrated volume is not multiplied by time; Mass conversion needs independent air-state density.

- Selected flow: Purchased compressed air
- Flow property / unit: Volume / m3

- Sources: `ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007`; `basf-ultramid-processing`

###### Isopropanol cleaning solvent (`ipa_cleaner`)

Conditional actual isopropanol cleaning only; record supplied purity/water as one whole purchase and subaccounts. No optical-assembly-only or CN-fixed supply is assumed applicable. Other real cleaner/purge formulations require their own atomic cards.

- Selected flow: Isopropanol cleaning solvent
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg

###### Cotton wiping cloth (`cotton_cloth`)

Only actual purchased cotton wiping cloth; trace unused stock and retained solvent/oil separately from new purchases. A water-treatment filter cloth or textile waste is not the same supplied article.

- Selected flow: Cotton wiping cloth
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.
- Value mode: calculated_value

- Sources: `ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007`; `basf-ultramid-processing`

###### 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane refrigerant (`r134a_supply`)

Only when an actual R134a chiller charge is documented; record complete purchase/initial charge, top-up and opening/closing charge vectors. No universal refrigerant or leak fraction is imposed. Other installed refrigerants require their own identity/cards.

- Selected flow: 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane refrigerant
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.

- Evidence kind: calculated_from_collection
- Collection protocol: `cp_charge`
- Sources: `ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007`; `basf-ultramid-processing`

###### Road freight transport service (`inbound_road_freight`)

Conditional actual inbound road freight for the whole supplied materials: retain load mass, actual distance, vehicle/service state, empty return and provider geography/time; use actual tonne-kilometres without adding transport already included in the delivered provider. Other actual modes need distinct atomic service cards and evidence.

- Selected flow: Road freight transport service
- Flow property / unit: Transport performance / tkm
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.
- 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_transport`
- Sources: `ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007`

##### Waste flows

##### Elementary flows

###### Atmospheric water vapour uptake (`ambient_water_uptake`)

Only independently evidenced actual gross atmospheric water entering the declared material/condensate control body before first release, with air compartment, phase, measurement states and matched interval. Include real entry to the product and actual dryer/chiller/air-system atmospheric condensate, while retaining their separate destinations. Independently record gross desorption/evaporation outputs; net product moisture change is derived and never replaces this entry when those outputs are recorded. Water already carried in purchased compound, purchased compressed air or supplied liquid is a constituent subaccount of that supply, not another atmospheric purchase or uptake. Cancel internal recirculation; no assumed equilibrium value. Keep water resource-from-air identity distinct from water-vapour emission. Product moisture and condensate are independently measured; one residual cannot determine both.

#### Outputs

##### Product flows

###### Electrical insulating fittings of plastics (`finished`)

One complete cooled as-moulded threaded smooth-bore bushing of the actual nonconductive PA66 configuration, with packaging excluded. Native insulating-fitting identity establishes a manufactured finished Product flow, production mix at plant and Mass only. It fixes no PA66 grade, CAS, geometry, thread, route, voltage, service life or geography; all such compatibility comes from the declared actual configuration and supplier/test evidence. Its awkward translated general comment adds no performance claim. Net mass is measured at the declared release humidity/temperature and time; count reconciliation gives no assumed kg/item.

- Selected flow: Electrical insulating fittings of plastics `4007e0ff-48e4-4968-8607-ec10e8123c59`

- Sources: `ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007`

###### Collected atmospheric condensate water (`collected_condensate`)

Only actual separately collected dryer/chiller/air-system atmospheric condensate leaving to a verified recipient as a Product return. Contaminated condensate needs a separate actual waste card; do not presume water purity or infer quantity from product moisture residual.

- Selected flow: Collected atmospheric condensate water

###### Recovered 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (`recovered_r134a`)

Only actual recovered refrigerant leaving to a supplier as product; trace charge identity, recipient and recovered condition. A contaminated waste charge needs its own Waste card; it cannot disappear into leakage.

- Selected flow: Recovered 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.

##### Waste flows

###### Solid PA66-compound scrap (`pa66_scrap`)

One actual PA66-compound solid reject stream by destination; separate contaminated grades and genuinely distinct treatments. Qualified internal regrind is not external waste; retired grade remnants, purge and failed tests retain actual loads. Do not substitute a native cast-strip/pelletizing-route waste for as-generated moulding rejects.

- Selected flow: Solid PA66-compound scrap
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.

###### Captured PA66-compound granulation dust (`pa66_dust`)

Actual captured dust leaving to a documented waste handler; retain composition, size and moisture, distinct from emitted particles and reusable granulate.

###### Spent mineral hydraulic oil (`spent_oil`)

Only actual spent hydraulic-oil removal with contaminant/water mass and destination; recovered product oil and leaks stay separate.

- Selected flow: Spent mineral hydraulic oil
- Flow property / unit: Mass / kg
- Amount rule: Use the single stored normalization result from section8; the linked protocol first retains undivided raw quantity, actual conditions and cohort attribution.

Distinguish process multifunctionality from multifunctional-product comparisons and consequential substitution; a production handbook gives no allocation permission. | ilcd-attributional-allocation-2010 |
| a_causal | remaining individual exchanges | For each remaining exchange identify the determining physical causal relationship: demonstrate how quantitative co-function changes determine this exchange. Metered cycle/heat load, occupied space-time or actual processing time may support particular exchanges only when causal. No universal mass key and no arbitrary physical/economic choice. Document distinct product-related and process-related allocations and uncertainty. | ilcd-attributional-allocation-2010 |
| a_residual | genuine common-process remainder | Only after justifying why determining physical causality cannot resolve a real remainder use contemporaneous market values at the actual common-process gate and actual quality/bulk/packaged state. Remove later specific service/transport costs from downstream prices. Preserve price evidence and sensitivity; no fixed ratio, invented waste fee adjustment or automatic avoided-product credit. | ilcd-attributional-allocation-2010 |
| a_recovery | regrind; packaging; wastes | Internal recovery/reuse cancels physical transfers but retains actual energy, losses and inherited burdens. Evidence determines whether an external output is waste or a genuine co-function; neither sale nor zero price alone creates a credit. Apply the stated scenario and compatible waste-provider convention once. | ilcd-attributional-allocation-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. Foreground Data Collection, Calculation, and Quality Rules

Protocols collect undivided raw records. aggregation_rule labels the final target basis; collection executes no division. Cards and aggregation read the same stored normalize_once result.

### Data Collection Protocols

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.

Verify provider scope and exclude a second purchase when transport is already included in delivered supply; other actual modes require separate cards. | tkm | each shipment and declared cohort | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_material | manufacture | purchased compound | foreground_record | supplier grade; delivered whole formulation; raw unit masses; moisture; inbound transport; opening and closing raw stock; stage WIP; regrind transfers; every inherited exchange vector | Weigh receipts and issued material on calibrated scales; retain invoices composition and transport records. Measure moisture independently and reconcile raw/WIP vectors and internal regrind without division. | kg | each receipt issue batch and stock cut-off | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_release | manufacture | unique first release | foreground_record | cohort_id; configuration; drawing; accepted count; net measured kg; moisture; temperature; humidity; time since demoulding; first release event; test method conditioning and result | Weigh accepted bare complete bushings or a count-verified homogeneous lot with calibrated tare; exclude packaging. Sum unique first-release net kg as Q_c; reconcile actual counts and reject repeat events. No invented item mass. | kg | each unique acceptance event and cohort close | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_energy | manufacture | electricity | foreground_record | meter ID; raw start and end readings; kWh; true rate time series if any; operation and idle logs; cohorts; allocation evidence; imported service inclusions | Retain undivided meter differences; integrate only actual power rates using matching time units. Separate dedicated loads and evidence each shared-load attribution before normalization. | kWh | continuous meters and every run including zero output | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_water | manufacture | water and moisture | foreground_record | each circuit and control-body ID; matched interval; raw supply and return; independently measured gross atmospheric water entry; actual gross desorption and evaporation; opening closing volume and density state; actual solute assays; blowdown; condensate and its actual source; derived product net moisture change; water carried in compound or purchased air/liquid; inherited vectors; temperature enthalpy | Independently meter/weigh every actual gross entry/outlet and loop stock at the same control body and interval; moisture tests and source-specific density states separately establish conversions. Pair actual atmospheric condensate with its measured source entry, without duplicating supply-carried water. Derive net product moisture only after source/outlet/stock reconciliation; never use net uptake as input while separately retaining its desorption output. Differentiate integrated volumes and real rates. Water/element/species/charge balances are independent checks, not residual fitting. | kg | each meter interval batch and loop cut-off | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_charge | manufacture | oil and refrigerant charges | foreground_record | equipment/charge ID; supplied preparation; original units; opening and closing charge; top-up; service period; recovered return; waste; leakage; circuit burden vector | Use charge/service logs plus calibrated weighing and verified recipient records. Preserve charge carryover and actual recovery/waste/leak destination without repeating initial charge each batch; external water returns and condensate use cp_water as well. | kg | each service event and opening/closing cut-off | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_air | manufacture | external compressed air | foreground_record | supplier; pressure; temperature; humidity; original metered volume; reference state; rate or total flag; allocation; supply energy coverage | Record actual undivided standard-state supply volume and state corrections. Do not multiply cumulative volume by time or presume air density from a secondary property. | m3 | each supply interval and cohort | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_clean | manufacture | cleaning solvent and cloth | foreground_record | actual solvent identity and purity; delivered whole mass; cloth masses; raw stock; spent liquid; retained cloth liquid; speciated air emission; destinations; inherited vectors | Weigh and reconcile whole purchases/unused stock and each destination with independent composition/species evidence. Retain actual cleaning/failed-run energy; water and assay components are subaccounts only. | kg | each actual clean-up and stock cut-off | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_waste | manufacture | moulding waste and captured dust | foreground_record | stream identity; source stage; polymer composition; contamination; particle size; raw wet/dry mass; moisture; handler; transfer; burden vector | Weigh separated waste by actual handler/state and reconcile failed lots, sprues, rejected tests and collected dust. Internal regrind cancels physically but keeps its energy/losses. | kg | each waste transfer and cohort | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_emission | manufacture | particulate and additional real species | foreground_record | species or supplied-particle identity; whole compound composition; particle size; air compartment; stack/fugitive; raw concentration and volume or mass; temperature pressure moisture; time only for true rates; abatement | Measure actual species/mass with independent identity and state evidence. Integrated gas volume times concentration is not multiplied by duration again. No water density for other fluids and no VOC/COD-as-species substitution. | kg | representative actual runs plus failures and reporting period | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |

Actual repair materials need their own cards; transfers carry inherited production once, never new Q. | row-specific kg or kWh | every physical movement and actual service interval | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |
| cp_packaging | released_service | each package and destination | foreground_record | package identity and composition; count and measured mass; empty stock; attached WIP/FG; reusable stock; purchases; external returns received; gross outward; outward return; waste; original burden vector | For each actual package independently weigh movements and stocks and reconcile b_packages. Trace returned and supplier-included packages; retain raw purchase and physical gross-out, not net financial quantities. Internal reuse is a transfer. | kg | each purchase physical shipment return waste and stock cut-off | complete declared cohort/period and relevant history | actual site and each supply/equipment/destination | per 1 kg reference flow | calibration/original ledgers/independent states and vector reconciliation |

### Calculation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Formula or rule | Inputs | Output | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| normalize_once | all inventory rows | For Q_c > 0, result_j_c = A_j_c / Q_c once. First convert undivided raw numerator units/rates/states and apply evidenced allocation and disjoint stock/WIP/utility vector carryover. For manufacturing A_j_c is attributable current expenditure plus opening minus closing inherited raw/WIP/charge vectors. For services it is actual original-cohort incremental service plus opening minus closing service-WIP/charge vector; Q_c is that cohort original release kg. Physical purchase/return/handover/gross shipment/waste cards use actual raw physical movement as A_j_c, with inherited burdens tracked separately; unused-stock carryover affects burden consumption, not actual purchase/outward mass. Cancel internal transfers and do not add carried production a second time. Collection, cards and aggregation read the stored result without another division. At Q_c=0 preserve real loads and issue no unit value. | A_j_c; Q_c; cohort_id; service_interval | result_j_c | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007; basf-ultramid-processing; heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings |
| release_sum | finished | Q_c = sum of calibrated net kg of unique complete first-release events in cohort c and declared moisture state; accepted counts and measured lot masses reconcile without a prescribed kg/item. Closing FG already in Q_c is not added again. | net_release_kg; unique_event; cohort_id; moisture_state | Q_c | heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; basf-ultramid-processing |
| 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 | Full actual names/formulations/routes/states, matched upstream providers and every declared qualifier; no UUID implies a supplier inventory or functional certification. | supplier declarations; drawing; test and compatibility evidence |
| dq_quantities | all inventory rows | Trace original units and conversions, sampling scope and uncertainty; no invented range, density, emission factor, loss, service life or item weight. Unknowns retain an explicit collection requirement. | calibration; original meters and invoices; independent assays |
| dq_coverage | all inventory rows | Complete operations including failures and every package/water/charge stock; retain source and destination plus inherited vectors, cohort/time/geography and service completeness. | physical ledgers; vector reconciliation; failure logs |
| dq_applicability | finished | Source synthesis is not a factory dataset or proof that as-moulded performance meets an actual order. Actual release needs the declared specification and moisture-conditioned test evidence; a required conditioning route outside section1 needs applicability review. | product acceptance; supported limitations and independent review |

## 9. Validation Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Rule | source_ids |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| v_identity | finished | Check every declared qualifier, actual completed bushing geometry/thread and moisture/test state. A raw PA66 or cable flow cannot replace the terminal. The broad native identity does not establish performance, supplier coverage or all36980 applicability. | heyco-threaded-insulating-bushings; basf-ultramid-processing |
| v_once | all inventory rows | Retain undivided original records; convert true rates/units/states and allocate before the single normalize_once result. Collection and cards read that stored result without further division. Q=0 preserves real loads and yields no unit value. Unknown is neither zero nor pass. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007 |
| v_closure | all physical gates | Require separate raw/WIP/FG, each utility/charge and each package closure plus consistent consolidated closure; retain every inherited exchange vector and actual gross movement. Species and moisture need independent evidence; discrepancies require investigation without arbitrary tolerance or residual invention. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007; basf-ultramid-processing |
| v_coverage | all inventory rows | Actual route utilities and emissions/wastes must be screened and separately represented. An unconfirmed auxiliary UUID is a matching requirement, not a cut-off; a true terminal/route/basis gap prevents usable methodology. State data completeness and unresolved measurements, science and translation review separately from structural checks. | ifc-plastics-manufacturing-2007; basf-ultramid-processing |
| 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. |  |
