szervizkönyv

A szervizkönyv, also known as a maintenance logbook, is a documented record that tracks the service history of equipment, vehicles, or machinery. It typically contains details such as the date of service, the type of maintenance performed, any parts replaced, the service provider or technician, and remarks or observations about the condition of the item. In many industries, especially automotive, aviation, marine, and heavy industrial sectors, a properly maintained szervizkönyv is essential for ensuring compliance with safety regulations, warranty conditions, and periodic inspection requirements.

The importance of a szervizkönyv lies in its ability to provide a transparent and verifiable service history. This audit trail helps vehicle owners, regulators, and third parties assess reliability, predict future maintenance needs, and make informed decisions regarding the sale or continued operation of equipment. Regular updates to the logbook can also reduce liability by demonstrating that due care was exercised.

Typical contents of a szervizkönyv include service dates, mileage or operating hours, a description of performed tasks, the part numbers of replaced components, the name or identification of the service personnel, cost of work, and any anomalies or preventive recommendations. Some logs also record calibration records, inspections, and safety certifications.

In Hungary and other European countries, the use of a szervizkönyv is often mandated by law or industry standards for certain types of vehicles and machinery. Proper completion and maintenance of the logbook can affect insurance premiums, resale value, and legal compliance.
