Justification / use case

Part of the dictionary batch for DPP steel content specification v0.0.2 (material-identity/schema#370): 3 new entries in this request, published as one self-consistent batch together with the other nine requests of the epic.

Origin data elements of the steel DPP (JRC draft T9 p. 53, T14 p. 62, T15 p. 67, T16 p. 72).

• countryOfOrigin: the JRC gives "industry practice" as basis; the entry anchors on the Union Customs Code non-preferential origin (Art. 59–60) so that the value is the customs-meaningful one — an interpretation, stated as such. Facet ^[A-Z]{2}$.
• meltAndPourCountry: [IN FORCE] Regulation (EU) 2026/1384 Art. 4(1), applicable from 1 October 2026 (Art. 14, third paragraph, point (b)); evidence rules in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1963 Art. 1(1) ("a Mill Test Certificate that includes the country of 'melt and pour' and the heat number"). Definitions en/de are near-verbatim from Art. 4(1) and match JRC fn 30 p. 52.
• manufacturingDate: no legal basis (JRC: industry practice). Open: heat cast date vs completion of rolling for a heat-level UPI (materials review).

Reference URIs

Legislation cites the specific OJ expression ELI (…/oj), never the consolidated alias. Standards cite a dated, version-stable identifier: ISO standards the RFC 5141 URN of the edition (urn:iso:std:iso:<number>[:-<part>]:ed-<n>); CEN ENs without an edition-specific public URI a dated URN urn:cen:en:<number>[-<part>]:<year> (urn:cen: is not an IANA-registered namespace — used as a version-stable identifier only). The undated designation stays in name. The convention is recorded in REVIEW.md §3 with this batch.
