I may be wrong here but i did this and so far so good, This is what i did 
laying this stuff on a concrete floor I Installed a vapour barrier available 
from diy places etc.

Then simply put the flooring in (the type i used was click system) making 
sure that the joints were tight, then around the edges i used caulk to stop 
any water getting under the flooring,a few of the places where the flooring 
joined the joints weren`t as tight as i wished for, so i got a bit of wood 
glue and put a bit in the joint (filling it) then wiped it from the top 
surface before it dried.

This has been down now nearly 5yrs and so far no problems.

Think twice before putting laminate flooring into a kitchen

If the laminate becomes wet, it becomes useless and normally has to be
replaced.  If you are to flood any room in tour house, which is it likely to
be ?

e.g  leaking sinks, leaking washing machine / dishwasher.  thawed fridge or
freezer ?

Just a thought
