It does not have any thing to do with Socket-Weld or Slip-On flanges.

Easiest, most prudent solution is to fabricate "sex-change" spools -- DIN on one end, ANSI on the other. That is the same way you change from 150# flanges to 300# flanges.

Gator, It's probably going to be a situation where the flanges are at a unit or plant limit that also comes with a code break at the same place, which is common when connecting between European and American companies in various parts of the world where there is no national requirement and one code is thought to be just as good as the next. As long as you used A code, it was legal. I've even had requirements for DIN on the pump stations and ANSI on the pipelines when connecting between defense ministry and national oil company facilities.

RE: Universal Piping Flanges
Apart from the problem of bolting the flanges together, there is the problem of wafer type fittings like butterfly valves and disk check valves trying to fit inside differing bolt circles. Mixed standards are by no means rare here in South Africa, and it can be a nightmare if it is not very carefully managed.
My advice - forget about universal flanges and just do it properly.

Low set point. Why would it raise any alarms, if the flanges are identical or conservative where they need to be. It is possible to get some flanges with multiple specs. See,
