We use a variety of gases on site and are trying to ensure that the pipework is appropriately painted to enable easy recognition of the specific gas it contains. I have looked at BS 1710 but this just refers to gas in general. Is there any defined system which we should follow with regards to the paint colour of pipework so that each gas is easily recognised without it becoming confused with other pipework such as steam supply?

I suggest you have a look at BS4800:1989 (1994) Schedule of Paint Colours for Building Purposes. Incidentally, you can buy "compliant" tape for just about every gas and other pipe at http://www.uktapes-ltd.com/ukt21.htm.
