Installation tags must be in what color and what dimensions?

• A. White, 5-1/4 inch height and 2-5/8 inch width
• B. Blue, 4 inch height and 1-1/2 inch width
• C. Red, 3 inch height and 2 inch width
• D. Green, 5 inch height and 3 inch width

Answer: (A)

Tags are designed to be easily readable and consistently identified, so standards specify a specific color and size. The white color provides clear contrast for the information printed on the tag, making it easy to read at a glance and ensuring consistency across equipment and sites. The dimensions of 5-1/4 inches in height by 2-5/8 inches in width give ample space for all necessary details—such as location, date of installation, and installer information—without crowding, while staying large enough to be legible when attached. Other colors and smaller sizes would either signal different statuses or be too cramped to convey the required information reliably, which is why white with those exact measurements is the standard combination.
