Basing on the experience of the certification body in the field of evaluation of integrated control systems for longwall and road mining complexes, as part of the procedure for their authorisation for use in mines, in this article the applicable requirements for these systems have been reviewed (chapter 2), issues important from the safety point of view taken into account by the KOMAG Institute of Mining Technology Division of Attestation Tests Certifying Body in the process of their evaluation have been identified (chapter 3), and measures the fulfilment of which will increase the level of safety in the use of mining and longwall mining complexes in underground mining have been proposed (chapter 4). Issues addressed in this article bear importance for all underground mines, in which the deposit exploitation and excavation is performed using the longwall and road mining complexes.
