Checking inclusion content of weld filler material

Has anyone ever added an ASTM E45 inclusion testing spec to their weld filler wire specification? I got a bad batch of consumable inserts that had high inclusion content and ruined a bunch of tubing welds. I would like to add some test requirement to our filler spec, but I don't know if major weld wire suppliers have ever faced this type of testing before, and how much push-back I'll get. Thanks.
