I noticed that in AWS D14.3, welders that are D1.1 qualified may be considered qualified to D14.3. Is this true in reverse? Can a welder qualified to D14.3 be considered qualified to D1.1?
The acceptability to other standar is the Welding Engineer responsability. See AWS D1.1 4.1.1.2 is General Requirement for WPS and Welder qualification
I would say no and this is my reasoning D14.3:2005 allows for two methods. My concern would be method B (8.3.5) which has no requirement other than sectioning and etching on a workmanship sample this would not be acceptable per D1.1:2006 I believe. I would say D1.1 is equal to or greater than the requirements of D14.3 but not the other way around.
