The invention discloses a method and system for the remote calibration of an electric energy metering device. According to the method and system, the test report of a remote calibration device and the test report of a tested electric energy metering device are registered; an original logical node LLN0 and a general logic node GGI0 are expanded according to an IEC 61850 modeling principle; a metering verification logic node MSCN is established; a test start time point, a test start code, a test period time length and an electric energy accumulation mode are set; a calibration command is started; the remote calibration device and the electric energy metering device to be tested receive the calibration command and read the data of the parameters of the test start time, the test start code, the test period time length and the electric energy accumulation mode; the remote calibration device and the electric energy metering device to be tested accumulate electric energy in the calibration node at the test start time point, generate their respective electric energy accumulation reports and send the electric energy accumulation reports to a metering main station; and the metering main station carries out error calculation according to the electric energy accumulation reports of the remote calibration device and the electric energy metering device to be tested.
