Kodukasutuseks

Kodukasutuseks is an Estonian phrase meaning "for home use" or "for household use." It is commonly found on product labels, manuals, and packaging to indicate that the item is intended for private, non-commercial use within a dwelling rather than professional, industrial, or commercial settings.

Linguistically, kodukasutuseks combines "kodu" (home) with "kasutuseks" (for use), derived from the verb "kasutama" (to use). The suffix -ks marks the intended purpose or designation.

Applications include consumer electronics, cleaning products, gardening chemicals, paints and coatings, toys, and household tools. The label signals that the product is designed for typical household scenarios and not for professional environments. In safety and usage instructions, it can imply that formal training or professional equipment is not required, though standard household precautions still apply.

Regulators and manufacturers use the phrase to distinguish consumer products from professional-grade items. In international contexts, it is often translated as "household use only" or "for home use" to ensure clear understanding across markets.

Related concepts include household-use-only labeling and professional-use restrictions in product safety and consumer information systems.
