    • B. Requires requalification ✓
    • C. Only supplementary variable
    • D. Only nonessential variable
    • E. Allowed without restriction

    Multiple passes per side replacing single pass per side is an essential change → requalification is required. ASME IX, QW‑361(h)

    • A. Torch angle
    • B. Oscillation
    • C. Contact tube distance
    • D. Welding type/model
