BSC vs. ISO cogs?

So I read this and another post on here somewhere about not being able to use one on a hub after you have used the other, say a BSC on and ISO hub so that you can only safely used BSC cogs from then on out. Is this correct? I have formula hubs and have been using a Dura Ace cog but want to switch to a higher tooth count and EAI has the one I want. The DA is BSC and the EAI is ISO and I am assuming the formula hub is also ISO. So any thoughts on this?
