If impairments are found during ITM service, which tag colors may be attached?

• A. Blue
• B. Yellow or Red
• C. Green
• D. None

Answer: (B)

Color-coded tags are used to show the status of a fire protection system after an ITM check. When impairments are found, the tag you attach communicates what needs to be done and how urgently. A Yellow tag indicates impairment—there’s a fault that requires service, but the system or portion may still be usable under restricted conditions. A Red tag means the system or a part of it is out of service and cannot be relied on until repairs are completed. Green means the system is fully in service, while Blue isn’t used for this purpose in this context. So, when impairments are found during ITM, Yellow or Red tags may be attached depending on the severity and how much of the system is affected.
