I Also think that it is not needed, but now im concerned about the essential variable (2007 Edition) in 4.9.1 - Electrode and Shielding Medium. .... Shall be considered qualified to weld with the same electrode F-number as classified in Table 4.5. (Table 4.5 mention A5.1, A5.5, A5.4 other than austenitic and duplex, A5.4 austenitic and duplex, A5.9, A5.18, A5.28, A5.22, A5.11, A5.14)
So basically I want to use A5.29 (D1.1) to update A5.22 (D1.6), im not sure I im allowed to now, cause that I how I usually did it.
Otherwise im going to have to requalify all my AWS D1.6 welders.
