kvalitetsmässig

Kvalitetsmässig is a Swedish adjective meaning relating to quality or assessed in terms of quality. The term is commonly used in formal or technical Swedish to describe aspects, measurements, or judgments that pertain to quality rather than price, performance, or other attributes. It can describe both objects and evaluations, such as a product, service, or process.

The word is formed as a compound of kvalitets- (from kvalit et, quality) and -mässig, a suffix that yields adjectives meaning “in terms of” or “pertaining to.” The corresponding adverb is kvalitetsmässigt. In practice, kvalitetsmässig is often used attributively before a noun (en kvalitetsmässig standard) or predicatively (denna process är kvalitetsmässig).

Usage tends to be technical or businesslike and appears in contexts such as quality assurance, benchmarking, and product development. Examples include phrases like en kvalitetsmässig bedömning, kvalitetsmässig nivå, or ur kvalitetsmässig synpunkt. The term conveys a focus on the quality dimension and is typically translated as “quality-wise” or “quality-related” in English. It should be distinguished from kvalitativ, which refers to qualitative as a methodological category or data type, and from kvalitetsrelaterad, which has a broader sense of being related to quality.
