The invention refers to a procedure for verifying the setting of specified safety functions of a field unit of process and automation technology, where the specified security features relate in particular to access to at least one function of the field equipment by a non-access person. The procedure includes steps to identify a user (2),the start of a query on the actual setting of the safety functions specified at the measuring point (SF1,...,SFn) of the field device by the user (3),a comparison of the actual configuration of the specified security functions (SF1,...,SFn) of the field equipment with a target setting defined by the defined level of safety of the specified safety functionsSFn (4),as well as the issue of an electronic report on the conformity or deviation of the actual setting from the intended setting of the specified security functions (SF1, SF1, etc.),SFn) (5). Depending on the conformity or deviation of the actual setting from the target setting of the specified security functions (SF1,...,(SF) different steps are taken.
