: As Catherine had already given this term in her answer and you give no explanation, it would have been the correct etiquette to have agreed with her answer, rather than posting your own.

Depending on how important the burner is, it may need a unique identifying reference mark for traceability, rather than some generic trademark, say. The fact that it is engraved (or perhaps etched) implies that this is no mass-produced item. I have often translated "repère" in this way. On the other hand, since context is so sadly lacking, it could simply be an alignment mark.
