PPWR validation warning: Design recyclability grade shape

This appears when the submitted value is outside the allowed set carried by the versioned rule.

Educational guide only — this module is not part of the current public offer.

What the check requires

Where a recyclability grade is declared, it must be A, B or C. Those grades are fixed in Art 6(3) and Annex II Table 3; the detailed design-for-recycling and assessment methodology remains pending, so this is not a recyclability verdict.

A warning — it does not block deterministic validation, but it remains recorded for review.

Why this is reported

This appears when the submitted value is outside the allowed set carried by the versioned rule. The deterministic PPWR validator reports it as rule ppwr.design.recyclability-grade-shape. The requirement and citation come from versioned profile 1.0.3; Clearlane does not replace them with an AI-generated verdict.

How it gets fixed

Check the source system and replace the value with an allowed value identified by the rule; do not map it by guesswork. Run validation again. Clearlane never fills a compliance value by guessing.
