Al joking aside
If your floor hasnt shown signs of damp, has readings under 75%RH
Id chance not bothering with a dpm, therefore a moot point
Get it tested, then see if you have to stress about a dpm

You may have said a dry floor
Until you have had an RH test your guessing with damp levels
Which are Very important
a moot point means its not worth arguing over etc

maybe we should refer to it as moisture test and not damp test.
We need to know how much moisture is in your subfloor.
Depending on how much moisture is in the floor will depend on the prep.
EVERY subfloor has a moisture content. It dont matter if its 1 year old or 100 years old . The moisture content will be effected by heating, area, dpm etc.
We just need to know what that moisture content is.

ok you lovely people
so i got me wallet out, n blew away the cobwebs..and spent £18 on a moisture metre today from "tool station" on my way home from work just now.
And I did a moisture test in over 15 points all over the ground floor area.. old concrete flooring in the house and also in new conservatory for where the flooring will be going, plus other areas too to make sure, like near the front door and back doors
+ it has been raining all weekend and raining now up here
and the highest moisture reading was!!!
drum roll please...................
a high 10%
and the lowest.. was 4%
and the CH has been off all day
so with that in mind can i skip the liquid dp flippin m, and move on and get laying the self level sloppp and live a normal life
lol
let me know what your thoughts are guys

Oh Jay.....
My meter costs £500+vat, and its the same as daz's!
Professional tools cost professional coin!
Tell us which one you bought, as daz says its poss a wood one, least it wasnt expensive thats the main thing..
But Mate, your gonna end up costing yourself more in the long run if your not careful
