A new service tag must be attached each time service is performed.

• A. A service tag
• B. A new service tag
• C. A yellow tag
• D. A red tag

Answer: (B)

Maintaining a clear, up-to-date maintenance record requires a new service tag for every service event. Attaching a fresh tag ensures the date, who performed the work, and what was done are captured accurately, so anyone reviewing the equipment can see when the last service occurred and what was done. Reusing an old tag would obscure the latest service and could lead to misunderstandings about the equipment’s maintenance history, potentially affecting safety, warranty, or compliance. A freshly attached tag provides a verifiable, unambiguous record of the service, which is the main goal here.
