This may be the case, but I have not seen any documentation or reporting as to who makes (what kind of) determinations at the BBC, or how they do it. Conjecture is not the same as hard information.The BBC don't use a uniform set of speakers for each situation now as they once did, so their original standards have no practical meaning anymore, other than to be a standard for manufacturers to aim for if they wish to. So the V2 or V3 might have BBC badges but they were given out by an organisation which doesn't even follow it's own rules any more.
