Laitevalmistajille

Laitevalmistajille is a Finnish term used to indicate the audience or recipient of information, guidelines, or requirements related to equipment or devices. It is the plural dative/allative form of laitevalmistajat, meaning device manufacturers. In Finnish, the suffix -ille marks direction toward or for someone, so laitevalmistajille translates roughly as “to device manufacturers” or “for device manufacturers.” The form is common in regulatory, technical, and industry texts where the document or rule applies to manufacturers rather than to end users.

Usage examples include: ohjeet laitevalmistajille (instructions for device manufacturers), vaatimukset laitevalmistajille (requirements for device manufacturers), and tiedot laitevalmistajille (information for device manufacturers). The phrase is often used with verbs or nouns that govern indirect object statements, such as those found in formal or regulatory language.

In regulatory contexts, laitevalmistajille appears in Finnish translations of directives, standards, and guidelines to specify who must comply or whom the information targets. Distinctions to note include that laitevalmistajille is the dative/plural form; the genitive plural is laitevalmistajien (of the device manufacturers). Translators and standard bodies may also use constructions like laitevalmistajille suunnatut to emphasize audience orientation. Overall, the term functions as a practical way to designate the intended recipients in Finnish technical and regulatory communication.
