Which statement about installation tags is true?

• A. The tag must indicate water supply test data obtained during installation
• B. The tag must be left blank until inspection
• C. The tag must include the owner's signature
• D. The tag is optional

Answer: (A)

When installing a fire sprinkler system, the installation tag is used to record the water supply test data collected during the installation. This data shows the water source can meet the system’s demand and verifies the system will perform correctly under actual conditions, including any expected flow and pressure. The tag should include the test results, the date, and who performed the test, so there’s a clear record for the inspector and for future maintenance. Because of that, the tag isn’t left blank until inspection, isn’t contingent on the owner's signature, and isn’t optional. This documentation is why indicating water supply test data obtained during installation is the correct requirement.
