kodukasutuses

Kodukasutuses is an Estonian term meaning "for household use." It is commonly used on consumer products to indicate that the product is intended for domestic environments and non-professional use. The label suggests that the product's concentrations, instructions, and safety measures are tailored for home use rather than for industrial or commercial settings.

Products bearing the designation cover a wide range, including cleaning agents, pest control products, solvents, paints, and cosmetic items. The phrase is frequently seen together with warnings and usage directions, such as "ainult kodukasutuseks" (for household use only).

Regulatory context: In Estonia and the broader European market, labeling must meet safety and consumer-protection requirements. While "kodukasutuses" is a widely understood consumer-oriented qualifier, it is not a strict legal category by itself in all jurisdictions, and manufacturers must ensure the product is safe for its stated context of use.

Implications: The designation helps prevent misuse in professional settings and reduces risk to untrained users. Consumers should follow all safety instructions, store products securely, and seek professional guidance if needed for more complex tasks or large-scale applications.
