Pipework in walls

[bobby62]

What are the rules and regs regarding dropping heating flow and return / hot and cold water services pipework behind stud walls.

Firstly, can you do it? and secondly if you can, does there need to be any form of protection of identification foil so the routes can be picked up if someone was to fire a nail through the wall?!

Thanks
