BS 8203:2017 — Code of practice for installation of resilient floor coverings

Provisions the documents cite: the substrate moisture test — 75 % RH by hygrometer before a floor covering or coating is laid

What it requires

The UK code that sets the 75 % relative-humidity limit for a concrete or screed base before resilient floor coverings are laid; floor coatings data sheets adopt the same test.
