Kasutusaladeks

Kasutusaladeks is an Estonian term used in technical and product documentation to designate the intended uses or application areas of a product, service, dataset, or standard. It serves as a label that communicates which contexts, environments, or tasks the item is designed to support and where its use is appropriate. The phrase helps distinguish approved applications from unsupported or restricted ones.

Etymology and usage context: the word combines kasutus (use) with a suffix that conveys purpose or applicability, yielding a form that translates roughly as “for uses” or “for applications.” In practice, kasutusaladeks appears in manuals, product sheets, safety guidelines, and licensing notes as a concise summary of where and how the item can be used.

Function and scope: kasutusaladeks provides guidance on expected performance, safety considerations, and compatibility within specified contexts. It can cover environments (for example, office, home, or lab), tasks (data processing, measurement, or demonstration), user groups, or compliance requirements. The label helps manufacturers, developers, and users align expectations and reduce misuse.

Relation to other terminology: kasutusaladeks is related to broader concepts such as kasutus (use) and kasutustingimused (usage conditions). While not a legal term by itself, it often appears alongside technical specifications, warranty notes, and regulatory statements to clarify permissible use.

Examples of use: kasutusaladeks may include office tasks on standard hardware, educational demonstrations, or field testing under defined environmental conditions. In software or data, it can indicate supported platforms or allowed data-usage scenarios.
