(OP)
T-923 Physical Requirements
Personnel shall have an annual vision test to assure natural or corrected near distance acuity such that they are capable of reading standard J-1 letters on standard Jaeger test type charts for near vision.
Then it says: Equivalent near vision tests are acceptable.
QUESTION - What exactly complies with Equivalent??

I guess the most direct question would be, what will ASME Section v accept as the equivalent?
(1)Would J2 meet their equivalent criteria.
(2) Will ASME accept the AWS CWI requirements for an eyetest? ( Snellen at 12" and a color perception examination by an Eye Examiner Professional )

RE: ASME Section V Article 9 Subsection T-923
I believe that J2 would not be considered equivalent as it is a larger type size from the J1. By using this logic, someone could claim that a J5 is equivalent to a J1 because a J1≡J2 and J2≡J3 and J3≡J4 and J4≡J5; therefore J5≡J1 – which just isn't logical.
However, based on the information in the article that jbeckhou referenced, a Snellen or LogMAR test might be considered equivalent as they are different tests aimed at achieving the same result: a measurement of vision acuity.
My opinion only
