I don't have EN 287-1 in hands. But as per AWS D1.1 qualification of CJP groove welds qualifies for fillet welds.
But my undestanding from below highlighted extraction from EN 287-1 taking into account that the majority of your welds are fillet so you should qualify your welders by an appropriate fillet weld test.

Dear All,
Welder Qualification Code - EN 287-1,2004 Edition.
I have to fabricate some pipe supports and most of the work comes under fillet weld. I have some qualified welders as per EN 287-1 in plate 'butt weld' for all position. Are they qualified to weld these fillet welds as majority of the work comes under fillet weld? Should I requalify my welders in plate 'fillet weld' to fabricate these supports? I am looking for the correct interpretation of the following clause which is highlighted in yellow colour.
As per EN 287-1 ,2004 edition,5.4 Type of weld
b) in cases where the majority of work is fillet welding, the welder shall also be qualified by an appropriate fillet
welding test; in cases where the majority of work is butt welding, butt welds qualify fillet welds;Regards,
Limesh
