The use of the Appendix E approved welding porceures

The use of the Appendix E approved welding porceures

(OP)
Here is my question: If we would purchase the SWPS (AWS) procedures to replace our 25 plus years old WPS procedures would this require that all our welders requalify to the new SWPS procedures? Reading Section IX Art. V on pages 204-205 is states that the company must run one coupon to qualify the SWPS. I'm questioned about the requalification of each of the welders to the new procedures. ART III page 53 QW-301.2 states (at the top of the left column on the page) either a WPS or SWPS is used for qualification. Am I correct as long as the welding essentials are not changed with the new procedure, each welder will not have to requalify, as long as we run one coupon for each SWPS?

You are correct Sir/Ma'am.  One "demonstration coupon" per SWPS.  If the SWPS is not different in any of the WPQ essential variables, the welders do not require requalification.

 Any change in the WPQ variables and they will have to qual to the new procedure.
