After ITM service, impairments found, which color tags may be attached?

• A. Yellow tag only
• B. Red tag only
• C. Yellow or red
• D. Blue tag

Answer: (C)

When impairments are found during ITM service, the item must be clearly labeled to stop unsafe use. A red tag is the standard signal for “do not operate”—the equipment is out of service until a qualified person fixes it and it’s cleared. A yellow tag signals restricted use—the equipment is impaired but may be used only under specific conditions or by authorized personnel while awaiting repair. Depending on how severe the impairment is and the program’s policy, either tag may be applied. Blue tags aren’t typically used to indicate impairment in this context, so the tags that may be attached are yellow or red.
