We complete the classification of tight 4-designs in Hamming association schemes H ( n , q ), i.e., that of tight orthogonal arrays of strength 4, which had been open since a result by Noda (1979). To do so, we construct an association scheme attached to a tight 4-design in H ( n , q ) and analyze its triple intersection numbers to conclude the non-existence in all open cases.
