Methodology

This page provides methodological guidance and clarifications regarding requirements introduced in the General Programme Instructions (GPI) and the applicable PCR/c-PCR. The information presented is intended as supplementary information and does not replace or override any formal requirements set out in the primary documents.

Allocation Rules

GPI 5.0 and PCR 2019:14 (version 2.0) establish the requirements for the allocation of co-products and waste flows. The flowcharts below are provided as visual guidance to support the interpretation and application of these requirements. They are intended to assist in classifying input and output flows across different life cycle stages, in accordance with the rules defined in the GPI 5.0 and PCR 2019:14 (v2.0). The flowcharts do not introduce additional requirements and must be used in conjunction with the full text of the GPI and PCR 2019:14.
