kotitalouskäyttönä

Kotitalouskäyttönä refers to the use of something within a household setting. This term is commonly used in Finland to distinguish between products or services intended for personal or domestic use and those meant for commercial or industrial applications. For example, many appliances and tools are manufactured with distinct models for professional use and for regular home consumers. These "kotitalouskäyttönä" versions are often designed to be simpler, more affordable, and safer for untrained individuals to operate.

The classification of an item for kotitalouskäyttönä can affect its features, durability, and even regulatory requirements. A washing machine sold for home use, for instance, will likely have different specifications and capacities compared to a commercial-grade machine found in a laundromat. Similarly, certain chemicals or tools might have restrictions on their availability or use depending on whether they are intended for professional tradespeople or for general household purposes. This distinction ensures that products are appropriate for their intended users and environments, promoting safety and efficiency in everyday life.
