Which color tag is used for unserviceable reparable items?

• A. Red
• B. Blue
• C. Green
• D. Yellow

Answer: (B)

Color-coded tags convey the status of equipment so it goes to the right path without being used or mixed up. A blue tag specifically flags items that are not fit for service yet are repairable, quarantined to be sent to the repair area so they can be restored before reuse. This makes the flow clear: the item is not in service, but it isn’t condemned or scrap either, it’s awaiting maintenance action. Red tags, by contrast, generally indicate do-not-use or condemned conditions, while other colors mark different, separate statuses. So the blue tag best represents unserviceable items that can still be repaired.
