How far down a joist should pipes be fitted?

Is there a legal requirement on how far down a joist should pipes be fitted

Answers

There are technical requirements when drilling joists to carry pipes or cables through them.

Joists (up to 250mm depth).
Drill only on the centre line and the diameter is limited to 0.25 of the joists depth.
