What license number must be included on yellow tags?

• A. Firm's certificate of registration number
• B. Printed name
• C. Signature
• D. License number of RME

Answer: (D)

The license number of the RME must appear on yellow tags to identify the specific licensed individual responsible for the work. In Texas, the RME (Responsible Managing Employee) is the person legally authorized to supervise and take responsibility for fire sprinkler system work, and displaying their license number on the tag provides a clear, verifiable link to the licensed professional overseeing the installation or inspection. This ensures accountability and makes it possible for inspectors to confirm that the work is being performed under a valid license. Other information like a firm registration number, a printed name, or a signature doesn’t prove licensure or identify the responsible individual in a verifiable way, so they aren’t sufficient on their own.
