Equipment Tag is a commonly used industry term describing the unique identifier assigned to a physical item of equipment for engineering, operations and maintenance purposes. Tags are used consistently across drawings, asset registers, maintenance systems and operational documentation. In this glossary, Equipment Tag is treated as a redirect to the canonical term Asset Tag.
Equipment Tags provide the primary means of identifying and linking physical assets to engineering documentation, maintenance records and operational information.
Equipment Tags are typically assigned according to a project or corporate tagging specification and remain associated with an asset throughout its operational lifecycle.
Canonical term: Asset Tag (A1929). Equipment Tag is retained as a searchable synonym and redirect because it remains common industry terminology.
