with free of moisture


Explanation:
Please see dictionary definition of condensate.

I’d say it would be difficult to keep the stored item moisture free if the ambient humidity goes up to 80%. Perhaps they used some kind of desiccants to absorb moisture in the package.

disagree  Tony M: Apart from the fact that this EN is even less understandable than the original, this is not what it is about: this term specifically refers to the humidity being 'non-condensing' as I have explained above.

agree  B D Finch: I can't access the Quora ref., but that extract doesn't seem to make sense. However, I now realise that this is not about the RH per se, but the potential interaction between a given RH (80%) air temp. and any surface cold enough for condensation to form.

Storage humidity: not more than 80 % without condensate
Storage humidity: maximimum 80% relative humidity


Explanation:
If the relative humidity is 80%, there would not be condensation. Relative humidity is related to air temperature and water in the air will only condense at 100% relative humidity, which is known as the dew point.

disagree  Tony M: I'm afraid this misses out the specific point of 'non-condensing'. Please trust me on this, these are specific technical points, and RH and 'non condensing' are 2 associated but separate concepts. at 80% RH, it may be condensing or non-condensing.

  -> It doesn't, because if the relative humidity is 80% there won't be condensation. Stating the maximum relative humidity level would be far more natural in this context than referring to non-condensing moisture in the air.

disagree  Daryo: there are two separate requirements (1) "max humidity 80%" AND (2) whatever is the humidity there shouldn't be any condensate on the walls of the fridge / cold room
2 hrs
  -> (1) It's "relative humidity", (2) there's a direct link between relative humidity and condensation.// Agreed: see my comment to Tony in the Discussion.

disagree  Tony M: Not the meaning of this quite specific technical terminology in this context. / It's not my "opinion" — this is well-known EN technical terminology to anyone familiar with the field.
