According to all the assorted AWS references, as was discussed in another thread not very long ago, it is a discontinuity rather it is rejectable or not. And it's acceptance/rejection standards are determined by the applicable code for the project at hand. So, in my current wording it would only apply to the rejectable aspect of a discovered discontinuity, but it is a discontinuity. As a rejectable discontinuity it is subject to repair which would then take you to where we are in this thread discussing the application of a particular WPS to the work being performed with a qualified PQR for the materials and processes in use. If it were not a discontinuity it would not have received any attention at all. But it was found, decided to be rejectable, and in process of being repaired.
I'll see if I can find the other rather lengthy thread on discontinuities and attach the link.
Have a Great Day, Brent
