On the reverse side of a PQDR tag, which field is used for free-text information?

• A. Serial Number
• B. Remarks
• C. Defect Type
• D. Disposition

Answer: (B)

The free-text narrative goes in the Remarks field. This area is meant for descriptive information that supports the deficiency report, such as symptoms, conditions, steps to reproduce, parts involved, measurements, or any notes that help someone reviewing the defect understand the issue.

Serial Number is used to identify the specific item, typically a unique identifier. Defect Type is a predefined category describing what kind of problem occurred. Disposition records the action taken or planned (like repair, return, or disposal). These fields are structured, whereas Remarks provides the flexible space for detailed storytelling and context.
