A new service tag must be attached each time __.

• A. service is performed
• B. system is shut down
• C. maintenance is scheduled
• D. a minor repair is completed

Answer: (A)

Keeping a precise service history is the main idea. A new service tag on every service event creates a unique record of that specific work, including what was done, when, and who performed it. This makes it easy to verify maintenance history, troubleshoot later, and ensure accountability, because records from different service events aren’t mixed. Attaching a new tag only when the system is shut down or only when maintenance is scheduled could miss actual work done; and even small repairs are services, so they would require a tag to capture that event. Therefore, a new service tag should be attached each time service is performed.
