Shouldn't he have isolated the boiler - rather than putting a danger label on it.
If he had slapped a "do not use" tag on it, he should have given the OP a form to sign and could have capped the gas supply. Once a boiler has been tagged as "At Risk", finding another Gas Safe engineer to check & remove the notice is difficult.
That will be a CO, no 2. Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is what gives fizzy drinks the fizz and is relatively harmless. Carbon Monoxide (CO) can cause serious health issues even at moderately low concentrations. Anything over 100ppm is regarded as dangerous, and >400ppm can kill.
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

We do have a CO2 detector
CO2 Carbon dioxide - not poisonous, a product of burning coal, wood, oil, gas etc in air
CO Carbon monoxide - poisonous and what the detector will detect if present.
