Is water-resistant laminate the same as waterproof?

From a professional specification perspective:

No, water-resistant laminate has an enhanced HDF core with water-repellent coating on bevels and joints, but it is water-resistant, NOT waterproof. Prolonged water exposure will still damage the core material. Floor Sanding Australia cautions that water-resistant is not waterproof and proper moisture management remains essential.
