Explanation:
Fra www.osha.gov/dts/shib/shib050404.html:

There are two methods of verifying instrument accuracy: a functional or bump test and a full calibration, each appropriate under certain conditions. A bump test verifies calibration by exposing the instrument to a known concentration of test gas.
