Does this hose have WRAS approval?

Reason for the question is that I recently replaced the worn out and leaking original hose on our 5 year old Bosch Speed Perfect with one from B and Q. The result is a chlorine taste in our drinking water. A search on the water company website suggests that this is attributable to the chlorine in the tap water reacting with the rubber in the hose and that only WRAS accredited hoses should be used. Thanks Andy

    This hose is suitable for most washing machine and dishwashers but should not be used for supplying drinking water through.
