Which tag is used to indicate an unserviceable item remains attached through processing until serviceable?

Which tag is used to indicate an unserviceable item remains attached through processing until serviceable?

• A. DD-1574 Serviceable Tag - Material
• B. DD-1577-2 Unserviceable(Repairable) Tag
• C. CG-1577-B Product Quality Deficiency Report Tag
• D. PQDR Tag

Answer: (B)

This tag is used to mark items that cannot be used yet but can be repaired, and it stays attached to the item as it goes through processing until it becomes serviceable. The Unserviceable (Repairable) Tag communicates that the item must be repaired and cannot be issued in its current condition, while also preserving traceability by keeping the tag on the item during the entire repair process. By design, this tag ensures the item isn’t reissued or discarded prematurely and that repair work is completed before returning the item to service. A serviceable tag, in contrast, would indicate the item is fit for issue, which isn’t appropriate for items awaiting repair. A Product Quality Deficiency Report Tag is used to document a defect for quality reporting, not to control the processing status of an item. The PQDR Tag serves reporting purposes rather than indicating that an item remains attached through processing.
