Printed under the title: A running record of annual servicing for a gas, oil or LPG boiler. Most manufacturer warranties require proof of an annual service — this is that proof.
Keep the certificate too. Keep the engineer's own paperwork as well. This sheet is an index of it, not a replacement for it. Note the engineer's registration number every time: it is the detail insurers and warranty departments ask for.

Questions
Does an annual service really matter for the warranty?
For most manufacturers, yes — an annual service by a suitably qualified engineer is a condition of the extended warranty, and they will ask for evidence. Check your own warranty terms, because the requirements differ.
Who is allowed to service a boiler?
Work on gas and oil appliances is restricted to registered or licensed engineers in most countries, and the scheme differs by jurisdiction. Check what registration applies where you live and record the number here.
