Kasutusalal

Kasutusalal is an Estonian term meaning “in the field of use” or “within the scope of application.” It is used in legal, technical, and regulatory texts to indicate the domain or context in which a product, method, or rule applies. The expression is formed from the words kasutus (use) and ala (area/field), with a locative suffix that yields the meaning “in the field of use.”

In practice, kasutusalal serves to delimit applicability. For example, in product labeling, compliance documentation, or patent claims, it specifies the intended field of use for an invention or regulation. A typical sentence might read: Kasutusalal kehtivad järgmised nõuded, meaning “The following requirements apply in the field of use.” The term helps distinguish where a rule or specification is valid versus other contexts.

Grammatical note: Kasutusalal is a case form used to indicate location or domain within a sentence, comparable to English phrases like “in the field of use.” It is commonly used alongside related forms such as kasutusala (the field of use itself) and valdkond (broader domain or sector).

Related terms: kasutus (use), ala (area/field), kasutusala (field of use), valdkond (domain/sector). These terms collectively describe how and where a technology, rule, or product is intended to operate.
