This may depend on local welding qualification requirements. My experience is limited, but from what I have seen, separate P groups need to have separate qualification tests. However, if your process is GTAW in all cases, then conceivably your local standards would allow for qualification in some P groups to be accepted for other P groups. I apologize that this is only a speculative answer. Please review the regulations in your jurisdiction.
