Stanovenie

Stanovenie is a Slovak noun referring to the act of establishing, setting, or determining something. It is commonly used in legal, administrative, economic, and scientific contexts to describe the formal determination of values, limits, obligations, or parameters. The term derives from the verb stanoviť, meaning to set or determine, and forms a standard noun with the suffix -enie. Etymologically it is related to other Slavic languages through shared roots for establishing rules and standards.

In public administration and law, stanovenie denotes official decisions that fix amounts, thresholds, deadlines, or other regulatory limits. Examples include stanovenie výšky dávky (setting the amount of a benefit), stanovenie ceny (setting the price), and stanovenie termínu splnenia (setting a deadline). In contract law, the concept can refer to a provision that fixes certain terms, though ustanovenie is more commonly used for contractual clauses; stanovenie emphasizes the act of establishing.

In scientific and economic work, stanovenie can also describe the determination or estimation of parameters, standards, or reference values, often through calculation, measurement, or regulatory guidance. The process may involve legislation, administrative acts, expert assessment, or negotiated agreements.
