Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] ITU page: BS.1770-5 (11/2023) in force; title 'Algorithms to measure audio programme loudness and true-peak audio level'; page last updated 2025-03-14. · locator: ITU recommendation page · source: https://www.itu.int/rec/R-REC-BS.1770
- [upstream_claim] Research review verdict at export: reviewed (as of 2026-10-17). Recorded by the research pipeline, not a hub review outcome; evidence.review stays unreviewed until an independent reviewer records one.
