Relative humidity, unlike fire, water, pests, etc., cannot be considered an agent of deterioration—we cannot speak of avoiding relative humidity(RH) — but we can avoid "incorrect" relative humidity. From a practical risk assessment perspective, the many forms of incorrect RH can be subdivided into four types : Damp, over 75% RH; RH above or below a critical value for that object; RH above 0%; [and] RH fluctuations. 1, record 1, English, - incorrect%20relative%20humidity

Du point de vue pratique de l'évaluation des risques, on peut classer les nombreux cas d'HR inadéquate en quatre catégories : [des] conditions d'humidité excessive, où l'HR est supérieure à 75 %; [des] cas où l'HR est supérieure ou inférieure à une valeur critique, pour un objet donné; [des] cas où l'HR est supérieure à 0 %; [des] variations d'HR. 1, record 1, French, - humidit%C3%A9%20relative%20inad%C3%A9quate
