higiéniai

Higiéniai is a Hungarian adjective that denotes anything pertaining to hygiene or sanitary conditions. It is used to describe practices, devices, buildings, and standards intended to protect health by preventing contamination and the transmission of disease. The word stems from higiénia (hygiene) and is commonly attached to nouns to form phrases such as higiéniai előírások (hygiene regulations), higiéniai berendezések (hygienic equipment), and higiéniai feltételek (hygienic conditions).

In practice, higiéniai standards appear in diverse sectors, including healthcare, food processing, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, laboratories, hospitality, and industry. They cover areas such as cleanliness, disinfection, sanitation, pest control, waste management, and the use of personal protective equipment. Compliance is typically governed by national regulations and international guidelines that specify acceptable hygiene practices and certification schemes.

In English usage, higiéniai is generally rendered as "hygienic" or "sanitary" depending on context. It is closely related to broader public health concepts, such as infection control and sanitary engineering.
