In order to qualify a welding operator for SAW under AWS D1.1., is there a provision that allows the use of an ASME weld procedure as a guide to weld a test plate and then RT to AWS D1.1 in order to qualify the welder to AWS D1.1?

If the Engineer approved the use of the WPS qualified to an alternate welding standard, that WPS can be used to qualify the welder.
If the Engineer does not approve of the WPS qualified to an alternate welding standard, all bets are off and the welder cannot be qualified to that WPS.
