As Armstrong’s more detailed installation instructions says this: Source p.50 There are certain OSB panels that are designated specifically for underlayment. And as referenced here by a flooring professional, some vinyl manufacturers advise against OSB without further treatment and a liquid underlayment on top of the OSB.
