You cannot check a HV diode.

I just have! Maybe it's YOU who has a problem with them?

Put the diode in series with a 15w filament lamp, connect to mains.

The barrier height potential of a HV diode isn't that great that it can't
be more safely checked with a simple 9V battery. That's what I used and
it's perfectly OK for the purpose.
