Hello "Heidi1965".
It is correct that flooring on wet screeds is only allowed once the (here drying-related) readiness for laying has been determined. This is the task of the floor layer, or, if a screed with additives has been used, the task of the screed layer to indicate HOW the remaining moisture in the screed is to be measured and from which value the readiness for laying exists.
Your task, therefore, cannot be to "educate" yourselves in this regard.
There are screed additives that keep the manufacturers’ promise. That means: It can very well be that the readiness for laying is given after only a few days. With some additives, it is even the case that after determining the readiness for laying, the flooring must be laid immediately to prevent rewetting of the screed. Rarely, this material property exists, but it does!
"So either immediately or after 6 weeks."
That does not exist as such. That is why the framework condition is called "either or" (and not either AND).
I hope I have contributed to clarification!
Regards and good success: KlaRa
