The invention relates to a method for monitoring a tamper protection of a field device, comprising the steps of: checking whether manipulation of the field device has taken place; outputting a non-manipulation certificate in case a negative inspection result was determined; transferring the non-manipulation certificate; a registration device checking the non-manipulation certificate; the registration device determining an active status of the field device in case the non-manipulation certificate is valid; a monitoring device checking the field device by querying the status of the field device and transferring field device data to the monitoring device; the monitoring device accepting the field device data if the field device has an active status. The invention further relates to a monitoring system for a field device and a use.
