What is the practical meaning of a yellow tag in the fire protection sprinkler system?

• A. Fully compliant
• B. Noncompliant with NFPA standards
• C. In testing phase only
• D. New installation

Answer: (B)

A yellow tag signals that the sprinkler system has deficiencies and is not in compliance with NFPA standards. It serves as a warning that something is wrong or incomplete, so the system cannot be counted on as fully functional until the issues are corrected. The next steps are for a qualified sprinkler contractor to repair the deficiencies and for the system to be retested and re-tagged to show compliance. This is different from a green tag, which indicates the system is in service and compliant.
