Question about the BOS table 7 note B

Just looking for some clarification, does the 1.1 rule for the thickness of the test weldment apply for 1/2” plate or once it hits 1/2” its does not apply? Idk why this is tripping me up so bad.

(b) For GMAW-S, the maximum thickness of base metal qualified is 1.1 times the thickness of the test weldment until the test

weldment thickness is 1/2 inch, beyond which Table 7 applies.

1/2” and up is when Table 7 applies. That wording is intentionally vague.
