It is a recommendation of the HSE given in guidance note GS38 that voltage indicators should be proved before use and after use.
Test Lamps and some voltage indicators may fail to danger, e.g. a faulty lamp not indicating a live circuit. These devices should be proved before and after use on a known live source or similar voltage to the source under test, or alternatively on a portable test source.
(Extract from HSE guidance note GS 38 February 1995)
The Portable battery powered proving unit PU260 has been introduced by Di-Log to carry out this vital check function for all makes of two pole voltage testers up to 690 V.
