Part 2

Establishing the units and metrics to be reported by Member States under field 2.12 ‘Production volume’

1. Definitions

For the purposes of this Part, the following definitions shall apply:

(1) ‘tonnes of products/extracted material’ means, unless otherwise stated, the weight of the stated metric, including any inherent moisture content of the products or extracted material, but excluding any product packaging/containment;

(2) ‘tonnes of products as oil equivalents’ means the output of a facility expressed as the amount of energy released by burning 1 tonne of crude oil, considering that the energy content of a tonne of crude oil is 42 gigajoules;

(3) ‘gigajoules of useful energy output’ means the energy effectively converted into electricity or heat expressed in gigajoules and served to the grid or the final user;

(4) ‘tonnes of incoming waste’ means the weight of all incoming waste, within a calendar year, to a facility that is further dealt within the defined recovery or disposal activity performed by the same facility and which excludes waste quantities transferred to other facilities without treatment;

(5) ‘cubic metres of incoming waste-water’ means the volume of water that enters the treatment operations of the relevant waste-water treatment facility;

(6) ‘tonnes of organic solvent’ means the weight of the total amount of solvents consumed in the operations performed within the facility;

(7) ‘tonnes of paint used and/or removed’ means the weight of the paint consumed, the best estimate of the paint removed, or, when performing painting and removal activities within the same facility, the sum of both;

(8) ‘number of livestock units (LSU)’ means the conversion rates in Annex II of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 808/2014 of 17 July 2014 laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) ( 1 ); the livestock units for animals not covered explicitly by this Regulation should be based on scientific evidence e.g. broilers 0,007 LSU, ostriches 0,350 LSU.

2. General rules

(a) Unless otherwise stated, the data on production volume shall cover total viable outputs from a facility and shall include the sum of all outputs during the year that are sold, stored on-site, and used on-site for further processing. The sum of outputs that are spoiled, rejected or off-specification shall be excluded.

(b) The production volume field 2.12 of Part 1 has a multiplicity of ‘one to many’. The reporting on production volume shall cover activities performed in the facility and that are reported to the EU Registry on Industrial Sites ( 2 ) with reference to the relevant facility. The reporting shall cover at least one activity.

(c) Where possible, the data on production volume shall be reported in accordance with the Prodcom methodology for national statistics on the production of manufactured goods and with the methodology laid down in Regulation (EU) 2019/2152 of the European parliament and of the Council ( 3 ).

(d) The following data shall be reported under field 2.12 of Part 1: (i) quantity expressed in the unit/metric set out in point 3; (ii) comments (optional).
