A BROWN TAG indicates which status?

A BROWN TAG indicates a "Suspended" status within the context of equipment or parts management. When an item is labeled with a BROWN TAG, it signifies that the item is temporarily out of use or unavailable for service. This suspension may be due to various reasons, such as pending inspections, repairs, or further modifications needed before the item can be deemed usable again. Identifying items accurately with such tags is crucial in maintaining safety and ensuring that equipment meets operational standards before being returned to service.

Understanding this classification helps ensure that personnel are aware of the status of equipment and can make informed decisions when it comes to maintenance and usage.
