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 ASTM standards. Additionally, the act requires that the initial curing environment be monitored digitally, with temperature data made accessible to relevant parties.

The act also outlines penalties for violations, starting with a warning for the first offense, escalating to fines of $500 for a second violation, $1,000 for a third, and $2,000 for any subsequent violations, along with public listing of violators. The enforcement of these provisions falls under the Department of Labor and Industry. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
