Check it against another meter known to be accurate.

Or, check it against the "Sunny 16 rule".

Or, shoot some slide film and judge the results.

Test for a correct EI with your meter. Then as long as your meter remains consistent use the EI you determine. Then it doesn't matter if it reads the same as another one.
