I have an external 1/2 inch copper pipe going up the wall of my house. It emerges from just above ground level and re-enters at the first floor height. It's probably a water pipe but how can I be sure that's it not an old capped off gas pipe before cutting into it?

If it is sleeved it is much more likely to be gas.
It is not a legal requirement to identify gas pipes in domestic installations, so there will not be anything to look for other than the destination or source of the pipe.
