The adequate standard EN 1307 speaks of "Suitablity for use in incidental humid conditions". I am looking for a more "colloquial" and "less scientific" explanation. I think, both comments are very helpful.
Thank you for your kind help!

moisture resistance

Less popular than olefin, recycled PET (Polyester) carpet is an inexpensive alternative to wool if you're looking for a carpet that's environmentally friendly. Like olefin, it has built-in stain and moisture resistance, is colorfast and feels extremely soft.

Polypropylene (Olefin): Was first introduced into the carpet industry from Italy in the late 1950's. Offers good stain and moisture resistance. Proven performance features, unique aesthetics and exceptional value for both residential and commercial carpeting.
