Incorrect. You can use any measure you want for regular composites:

"Note that the GIPS standards do not limit firms to using one of the measures of internal dispersion introduced above. A firm may prefer another way of expressing composite dispersion. The method chosen should, however, fairly represent the range of returns for each annual period."
