Before any floor goes down, check the substrate and record the moisture. This checklist confirms the floor is flat, clean, sound and dry, and records concrete relative humidity, calcium chloride (MVER), wood subfloor moisture, and room temperature and humidity, plus whether the material acclimated per the manufacturer.
Before install. Record your moisture readings.

This is a field checklist, not the code. Your inspector enforces the code and local amendments your jurisdiction has adopted.
Common methods are relative humidity probes in the slab and calcium chloride (MVER) tests. Use the method and limits the flooring manufacturer requires.
If the floor fails, the first question is whether the slab was too wet. Recorded readings answer it.
The material sat in the room's conditions for as long as the manufacturer requires before install.
