What is the minimum size for an impairment tag?

The minimum size for an impairment tag is 4x6 inches. This size is designed to ensure that the information on the tag is easily visible and legible, facilitating effective communication of the impairment status to those who may encounter the system. When systems are impaired, clear identification is crucial to avoid accidental activation or interference with fire protection features.

Larger tags, while they can provide more space for information, may not be essential for standard notifications and could be cumbersome. Conversely, sizes smaller than 4x6 inches might not adequately convey the necessary details, especially in high-traffic areas or in low visibility conditions. The 4x6 size strikes a balance between readability and practicality for effective impairment communication in various settings.
