Kontrollideks

Kontrollideks is an Estonian term used to designate something that is intended for the purpose of control, inspection, testing, or verification. In administrative and organizational language, kontrollideks identifies documents, procedures, equipment, or tasks that serve as tools in a control process rather than for other uses.

Usage and contexts: It appears in quality assurance, regulatory compliance, auditing, safety procedures, and procurement. For example, a checklist or data form can be described as kontrollideks to indicate it will be used during inspections. In procurement, items described kontrollideks are those that must be checked or verified before acceptance. The phrase can also appear in manuals or project plans to mark a component's intended role in verification activities.

Etymology and grammar: Kontroll means control or inspection; the suffix -ideks marks purpose or function in Estonian, producing the meaning "for controls" or "for inspections." The form kontrollideks is the plural translative or purposive form used when referring to multiple controls or to something intended to serve as controls.

Notes: The term is relatively specialized and largely confined to formal or bureaucratic language. Its precise usage can vary by field, and similar constructions exist for other nouns with the -ideks suffix.
