[MW:1175] TKY Joints defination and use of 6GR Welders

AWS D1.1/D1.1M :2006 para 2.24.1.5 (2) , attached, states that classification criteria of TKY joints is based on punching load cases of brace to chord connection.

Now the question is that:

The given weld connection is tubular to tubular (TKY type) but does not fall under TKY classification based on punching load cases as para 2.24.1.5.
for example secondary and miscellaneous small structures like access platforms , stairs  etc fabricated by tubulars/ pipes.
Do we need to treat these tubular to tubular joints as TKY joints and strictly welded by 6GR qualified welders??
