1905.6.1 Acceptance testing.
BC § 1905.6.1
Concrete shall be tested in accordance with the requirements in Sections 1905.6.2 through 1905.6.5. Concrete sampling and testing for acceptance shall be deemed a special inspection performed by a licensed concrete testing laboratory as an approved agency. An approved agency shall perform tests on fresh concrete at the job site, prepare specimens required for curing under field conditions, prepare specimens required for testing in the laboratory and record the temperature of the fresh concrete when preparing specimens for strength tests. All field sampling and testing, including the testing of aggregates, concrete mixes, and strength testing of specimens, shall be subject to special inspection by an approved agency. All testing laboratories shall be approved agencies and shall employ qualified special inspectors to perform all required field and laboratory tests. Test results shall be promptly distributed by the testing laboratory to the registered design professional of record, concrete producer, owner and contractor to allow for corrective action where the concrete is found to be non-compliant with the mix design or non-compliant with the requirements otherwise specified in this code. Unless more prompt action is required, test results shall be reported no more than 7 business days after the date the respective tests were performed.
