If the 'Project Specs' call for CVN testing of the WPS/PQR, then you would have to do a groove weld PQR to satisfy that contract requirement.
Look to Part D - Requirements for CVN Testing.
Welding Consumable Verification testing is a separate matter.
CVN testing of WPS/PQR is testing to make sure the procedure and resulting weld meets impact requirements.
Welding Consumable Verification testing is to verify the soundness and tensile properties of the weld metal, and are only used if the consumable doesnt meet 4.12.3.1(1) & (2), or when required by contract.
