To provide a polycarbonate resin composition that has excellent moisture resistance, good flame resistance, and markedly superior mechanical strength. Means for Solution: A resin composition containing (A) 1 to 99 weight parts of a polycarbonate resin having a viscosity average molecular weight of 10,000 to 100,000 and (B) 1 to 99 weight parts of a styrene resin, and also containing (C) a phosphoric ester compound with an acid value of 1 or less, in an amount of 1 to 40 weight parts per combined 100 weight parts of (A)&plus;(B), and (D) a reinforcing agent in an amount of 1 to 100 weight parts per combined 100 weight parts of (A)&plus;(B)&plus;(C).

Polycarbonate resin composition

A method for determining flame retardance of polymer compositions includes subjecting a plurality of specimens of a polymer composition to a flame test and performing a statistical analysis of the data obtained. The statistical analysis includes determining the probability of at least one possible outcome of the flame test. The probability of possible outcomes provides a measure of the flame retardance of the polymer composition. A preferred flame test is the UL-94 flame test.
