Which of the following is true about ITM tags?

• A. They are red
• B. They must be light blue and have precise dimensions
• C. They are optional
• D. They can be any color

Answer: (B)

ITM tags are used to show that a component has been inspected, tested, and maintained. The requirement to use light blue, with precise dimensions, ensures the tag is easily recognizable, legible, and fits properly on the equipment so it won’t be mistaken for something else or obscured. This standardization supports quick verification by inspectors and helps maintain consistent documentation across systems. Because the tag conveys compliance information, it isn’t optional, and using any other color would fail to meet the specified standard.
