What is the backside of the PQDR tag used for?

• A. Part number
• B. Date of issue
• C. Additional Comments
• D. Warranty status

Answer: (C)

The back of the PQDR tag is meant for Additional Comments. This section is where you put extra details that don’t fit on the front but are essential for understanding and processing the defect. Think of it as a space to capture the fuller story: exactly what happened, when and where the issue occurred, operating conditions, how the defect manifested, any measurements or test results, steps taken to verify the problem, and any supporting evidence like photos or documentation. It may also include suggested or taken corrective actions and any relevant context that helps the supplier and receiving activity determine disposition and root cause.

Usually, identifying information such as part number or the date of issue sits on the front of the tag, and warranty status isn’t typically recorded on the PQDR tag. The back is specifically for the narrative and supporting details that clarify the deficiency.
