What must be attached to each riser after installing a fire protection sprinkler system?

• A. A warranty label
• B. A maintenance sticker
• C. An ITM tag
• D. A manufacturer label

Answer: (C)

ITM tag is required. ITM stands for Inspection, Testing, Maintenance. After installing a fire protection sprinkler system, the work must be documented to show it has been inspected and tested and that maintenance procedures are in place. Attaching the ITM tag to each riser provides a visible, permanent record that the system was installed and tested according to code, and it signals that ongoing maintenance will be performed. The tag often includes who performed the work and the testing date, aiding future inspections. A warranty label relates to product warranty, not on-site testing documentation; a maintenance sticker isn’t the formal installation-record required by code; a manufacturer label is just device labeling and doesn’t indicate the system has been inspected or tested.
