CSA requires us to run a hi-pot tester test to verify that the tester is functional, once every day on those days that we run the hi-pot tests. The log book is supposed to have entries recording this verifications.
Newer testers have built-in capability to do it, for older testers some manufacturers have add-on devices to run this function.

Our UL inspector expects to see a calibration log for the Hi-pot tester. It is quite easy to build a simple fixture to test a hi pot - I'll happily email a pdf to anyone interested.
