There　is　no　standard　testing　method　of　the　thermal　physical　properties　of　phase　change　materials　(PCM).　This　paper　has　shown　advancements　in　this　field.　Developments　and　achievements　in　thermal　physical　properties　testing　methods　of　PCM　were　commented,　including　differential　scanning　calorimetry,　T-history　measurement,　the　water　bath　method,　and　differential　thermal　analysis.　Testing　principles,　advantages　and　disadvantages,　and　important　points　for　attention　of　each　method　were　discussed.　A　foundation　for　standardized　testing　methods　for　PCM　was　made.
