noudatettaviin

Noudatettaviin is a Finnish participial adjective form derived from the root noudattaa, meaning to obey or follow. The term functions to describe things that must be complied with, i.e., rules, guidelines, terms, or standards that are obligatory for recipients or organizations. In practice, noudatettaviin is used in formal or regulatory contexts to mark obligations rather than mere recommendations.

Grammatically, noudatettaviin is the inflected form used with a noun in a case that signals the object of compliance. It commonly appears in phrases such as noudatettaviin ohjeisiin or noudatettaviin sääntöihin, which translate roughly to “to the instructions that must be followed” or “to the rules to be complied with.” The construction highlights the mandatory nature of the referenced material.

Use and scope: The form is frequent in legal texts, standards documents, safety procedures, and contractual language. It helps distinguish enforceable requirements from voluntary guidance. While closely related to the adjective noudatettava (to be obeyed) and the noun noudattaminen (compliance), noudatettaviin specifically emphasizes the items or provisions that are obligatory for adherence.
