As in the title - What's the required insulation under building regs for heating pipes in the unheated loft space within a residential building? I can't seem to find any clear-cut answers.

Can anyone point me to the section of the building regs that details the required water pipe insulation performance as I can't seem to find it? It would help out with a dispute. Many thanks.

It's normally under bylaw 49 legislation, which is local government/council law, as long as it's been implemented in your council area properly. Contact the local council build control and ask them
 
Nothing in the building regs about it, see answer #2.
I need something in writing that specifies the requirement. Building control has signed off on what I believe is non-compliant insulation. The builder says "It's fine, it's been signed off". The local authority building control has told me to complain to CICAIR, but before I do that I'd like to confirm I'm in the right.
 
I looked into this once when building an extension on my home and found these. One is manufacturer specific, so I guess it will change depending on the manufacturers product performance. Unfortunately I can't remember where I found the info.
