After service, which statement about tagging is true?

• A. After ITM service, a new ITM tag must be attached
• B. After service, a new service tag must be attached
• C. After service, no tag is required
• D. A yellow tag must be attached

Answer: (B)

After service, you want the equipment to carry a clear, up-to-date record of what was done and when it’s due for the next check. Attaching a new service tag accomplishes that by providing a fresh indicator of the latest maintenance, who performed it, and the next service date. This ensures operators see current information at a glance and reduces confusion from old tags or incomplete records. The other options don’t fit because reusing an ITM tag isn’t the standard way to signify completed maintenance, and omitting a tag would leave no readily visible proof that service occurred. A yellow tag might be used for a different purpose (such as indicating a different status), not the routine confirmation that service has just been performed.
