RBS Licensing on a SQL Server Standard 2012 Failover Cluster

I am planning to implement a Sharepoint 2013 installation which is primarily to be used for Document Storage. We are considering using Sharepoint RBS with Filestream with SQL 2012 Standard and as far as I can see on our non-production environments this works without any issue - i.e. we enable filestream and RBS with Sharepoint and SQL and everything works as expected on our non production systems. In non production we have single SQL Server nodes. 

However, in production we have planned to have a 2 node SQL 2012 Standard failover cluster.

On this page, it indicates

"To run RBS on a remote server, you must be running SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise on the server that is running SQL Server where the metadata is stored in the database."

My question is : Am I entitled to use RBS with Filestream on a SQL 2012 Standard Failover Cluster, or is SQL Enterprise required.

If enterprise is required, we will have to remove the RBS. I have reviewed the links below, but cannot see a definitive answer from a licensing perspective
