RE: AWS D1.1 Welder Requalification
welder is qualified indefinitely unless the weldr is not engaged in a given process of welding for which the welder is qualified for a period exceeding 6 months.
Look up Part A General Requirements under Qualification...

The welder only needs to requalify on 3/8 inch plate to reinstate previous qualifications. Of course he would have to requalify for each welding process.

When renewal of AWS D1.1 welder/welding operator qualifications is
performed, the thickness required for the qualification test shall be 3/8 inch to qualify any production welding thickness greater than or equal to 1/8 inch.
Can he test in any position to be requal for all? example
He takes a 3/8" thick plate in the 3G position. But is qual in 2g, 3g and 4g.
Or does he have to take the 3/4G test again?

In the US, AWS D1.1 is a building code mandate. Failure to comply can create liability on numerous parties, including the engineers.
