The invention provides a state replacement method for intelligent meters for residents. The specific implementation steps are as follows: (1) spot check is performed on a batch of intelligent meters for residents each year, and measuring reliability R of the batch is checked; (2) according to the R value measured in the previous step, a verification time interval is calculated, and whether to prolong or shorten the verification period interval is determined; and (3) when the verification time interval of the previous step arrives, checking is performed again, and Steps (1) and (2) are repeated. The state replacement method for intelligent meters for residents is proposed under the background that residents replace intelligent electric energy meters on a large scale, a method for dynamically adjusting the batch intelligent meter verification period is proposed according to a strict spot check technology, and the method can guide replacement of intelligent meters for residents, so that operation management of electric energy meters is relatively scientific.
