What condition does a BROWN TAG indicate?

A BROWN TAG indicates that a condition is "Suspended." In the context of equipment or inventory management, a suspended condition means that the item is not in a usable state for operational purposes due to specific issues that need to be addressed before it can be returned to service. This tagging helps personnel quickly identify items that require attention and prevents unnecessary use of items that may pose safety risks or further operational issues.

Other options refer to different statuses; for example, serviceable items are ready for use, unserviceable reparable items require repairs, and test/modification tags indicate items undergoing evaluation or alterations. Each tag color and type conveys vital information about the item's current usability and necessary actions, ensuring a clear understanding of inventory conditions.
