Depends on the curing conditions (temperature, humidity, etc) and how soon it needs to be open to traffic
 
most engineers leave it up to the contractor as a means/methods item with the one exception of requiring that all accelerators be non-chloride.
 
Avoid calcium chloride... do you really need to speed things up?
