Which of these is true about yellow tags?

• A. They indicate corrective action is necessary
• B. They are permanently attached and never removed
• C. They require immediate replacement
• D. They indicate no action is needed

Answer: (A)

Yellow tags are part of the color‑coded tagging system used after inspecting sprinkler components. They signal that a deficiency exists and corrective action is required to restore full service. The tag communicates to maintenance and the authority having jurisdiction that repairs or replacements are needed and the item must be re-inspected after work is done. It’s not meant to be a permanent label, and it doesn’t mean the whole unit must be replaced immediately or that no action is needed. The key idea is that action is needed to fix the condition before the system can be considered fully compliant.
