Industrial automation as the machine control section handling the automation of generating processes and technological processes, plays a significant role in economy. In the contemporary world it is difficult to imagine a modern plant without robotic assembly lines. This progress is connected to the need of ensuring safety. The significance of security in the industry is constantly raising and naturally concerns also the industrial automation. It is reflected in the regulations, including, among others, normative documents. This article presents methods of conducting verification of industrial automation systems basing on two basic parameters, which are: the level of ensuring Performance Level and the level of Safety Integrity Level.
