The Reliable Acceptance Testing of Concrete Act establishes specific requirements for the sampling and initial curing of concrete samples on commercial construction projects in Pennsylvania. It mandates that contractors and the owner's testing agency work together to cast concrete test specimens and ensure proper initial curing at the project site. The owner's testing agency is responsible for obtaining concrete samples, curing test specimens, monitoring conditions, and transporting specimens for testing, all in accordance with established ASTM standards. Additionally, the act outlines the duties of contractors, including providing necessary resources such as power and water for the testing agency.

To enforce compliance, the act introduces a penalty system for violations, ranging from warnings for first offenses to fines of up to $2,000 for repeated violations, along with public listing of violators. The Department of Labor and Industry is tasked with enforcing the provisions of the act. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage.
