At least one resin component which is selected from a biodegradable resin and a plant-based resin, and a flame retardancy-imparting component are kneaded to obtain a resin composition having flame retardancy. This resin composition makes it possible to apply the environment-friendly resin such as the biodegradable resin and the plant-based resin, for example, polylactic acid and polybutylene succinate to exterior bodies of home appliances. Particularly, in the case where polylactic acid is used with the acetylacetonatoiron as the flame-retardant component, a resin composition having excellent flame retardancy can be provided as a non-halogen material.

It is possible to solve the problem of the conventional fluorescent X-ray analysis that a concentration calculation result can be obtained only after elapse of a time set as a measurement time. In the fluorescent X-ray analysis method and fluorescent X-ray analysis device according to the present invention, a sample measurement condition is set before starting the measurement and the measurement concentration of the element contained in the sample and the measurement accuracy are calculated. When the measurement accuracy has become a value satisfying the predetermined measurement condition, the measurement is terminated and the concentration at that moment is outputted.

The concentration(s) of element(s) contained in an unknown sample is measured without necessity of judging the sample relying on a human's eye and obtaining information from a supplier of the sample previously. The concentration(s) of trace element(s) such as Cd, Pb and Hg contained in parts for electronic or electric equipment is determined by (1) irradiating the sample with an X-ray so as to identify whether the type of the sample is a nonmetal-based material or a metal-based material; (2) selecting measuring conditions for a fluorescent X-ray analysis depending on the identified type of the sample; and (3) measuring the concentration(s) of one or more element(s) contained in the sample by the fluorescent X-ray analysis according to the selected measuring conditions.
