It helps in creating a balance between body, mind, and life. Yoga has been practiced in India for thousands of years. Now, many people around the world also practice yoga regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are some special purification methods in Hatha Yoga. These are called Shatkarma. These methods are used to keep the body clean from within. Many yoga gurus believe that if the body is clean, the results of yoga practice are also good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vastra Dhaut\u012b is one such old yogic purification method. In this, a special type of cotton cloth is used. Through this process, an attempt is made to clean the oesophagus and stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quality of the cloth used in this practice is very important. So, BIS has published IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b. This standard provides guidelines about the quality, size, and safety of the cloth.

So, Vastra Dhaut\u012b refers to a purification process done with the help of a cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b is a new standard of BIS. It sets certain rules and standards for the cloth used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b. This standard ensures the use of safe and quality cloth. As this cloth meets very sensitive parts of the body, there is no compromise on its quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BIS creates standards for various industries and products. Now, they are also creating standards for the yoga and AYUSH sectors. As a result, traditional products are becoming more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using good-quality yogic materials reduces risks. At the same time, it also increases the confidence of the user. So, IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Talk_To_Expert\"><\/span>Talk To Expert<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><div class=\"calling-person blog_cta my-4\"> \n    <div class=\"row\"> \n        <div class=\"col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12\"> \n            <div class=\"d-flex flex-nowrap\"> \n                <div class=\"user-online\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/img\/user.jpg\" alt=\"corpbiz\"> <\/div> \n                <div class=\"user-online-details ms-3 align-self-center\"> \n                    <h2 class=\"text-white mt-0\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_Help_Contact_Our_Experts_Today\"><\/span>Need Help?

So, some special purification methods are used, which are called Shatkarma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dhauti Kriya is one of those Shatkarmas. It aims to keep some internal parts of the body clean. Ancient Yoga Shastras talk about different types of Dhauti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vastra Dhaut\u012b is a special form of Dhauti Kriya. It is included in Hrid Dhaut\u012b. This practice is mentioned in the ancient yoga text Hatha Yoga Pradipika. Different types of Dhauti are also described in Gheranda Samhita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many yoga practitioners believe that Vastra Dhaut\u012b helps to keep the digestive system clean. It can make the body feel lighter. Some people also think that it increases focus and concentration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is not like regular yoga. It is an advanced level of practice. So, it should be done under the supervision of an experienced teacher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/corpbiz.io\/learning\/bis-certification-electrical-appliances-2026-guide\/\"> BIS Certification for Electrical Appliances<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Was_Standardization_of_Vastra_Dhauti_Necessary\"><\/span>Why Was Standardization of Vastra Dhaut\u012b Necessary?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fabric used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b is important. The fabric comes in contact with the internal parts of the body. So, its quality needs to be right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, not everyone used the same type of fabric. Some used thin fabric, some used thick fabric. Many times, the quality of the fabric was not even checked. This created a safety risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The key importance-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Risks of poor-quality fabric<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poor-quality fabric can tear easily. Again, threads can also cause problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. To avoid health problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unclean or chemical-containing cloth can harm the body. It can cause infection or discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. To ensure the right size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The length and width of the cloth for Vastra Dhaut\u012b need to be specified. This makes it safer to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. To maintain cleanliness<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good-quality cloth is easy to keep clean. It can be used in compliance with hygiene rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. To provide quality products in the global market<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yoga is now popular all over the world. So, quality products are needed for the international market as well. IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b helps in fulfilling that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, BIS has published this standard. Safe and reliable standards have been set for Vastra Dhaut\u012b with this.<a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scope_of_IS_18994_2024_Vastra_Dhauti\"><\/span>Scope of IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b defines the required standards for the fabrics used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b. This standard mentions various aspects related to the material, structure, size, strength, and safety of the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It ensures a fabric that is safe and suitable for this yogic practice. The standard also covers the constructional properties, performance, and quality control aspects of the fabric.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also provides guidance on the chemical properties, biocompatibility, and cleanliness of the fabric. Since this fabric comes in contact with the internal parts of the body, special importance has been given to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b is a standard. It ensures the quality, safety, and functionality of the fabrics used for Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Material_and_Workmanship_Requirements_under_IS_18994_2024_Vastra_Dhauti\"><\/span>Material and Workmanship Requirements under IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b provides clear guidelines regarding the material and manufacturing process of the fabric. These guidelines make the fabric safe, durable, and suitable for use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the standard, the fabric used for Vastra Dhaut\u012b must be finely woven with cotton muslin. This muslin fabric must meet the requirements of IS 752.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both sides of the fabric must be properly cut and trimmed. There should be no loose threads or hanging parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The standard also states that the selvedge on both sides of the fabric must be folded and placed properly. This keeps the edges of the fabric strong and reduces the possibility of the threads coming loose. Such small things play an important role in the safe use of Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Requirement<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fabric Type<\/td><td>Fine Cotton Muslin<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Standard Reference<\/td><td>IS 752<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fibre Content<\/td><td>100% Cotton<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Finish<\/td><td>Neatly Trimmed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Side Edges<\/td><td>Tucked Selvedge<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Constructional_and_Performance_Requirements\"><\/span>Constructional and Performance Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The structure and strength of the fabric are very important in the case of Vastra Dhaut\u012b. So, specific standards have been set in IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the standard, the fabric should have 250 \u00b1 5% ends and 210 \u00b1 5% picks per decimeter. This makes the fabric even and strong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The weight of the fabric is also specified. Its mass should be 47 g\/m\u00b2 \u00b1 5%. In this, the fabric will not be too heavy or too thin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The length is set at 6 meters (\u00b1 5 cm), and the width is 7 centimeters (\u00b1 5 mm). These sizes are considered suitable for Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The strength of the fabric is also tested. The minimum strength in the warp direction should be 168 N, and the minimum strength in the weft direction should be 80 N. This reduces the risk of tearing the fabric during use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from this, the fabric must be made in the plain weave method and must be made of 100% cotton fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Parameter<\/td><td>Requirement<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ends per dm<\/td><td>250 \u00b1 5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Picks per dm<\/td><td>210 \u00b1 5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fabric Mass<\/td><td>47 g\/m\u00b2 \u00b1 5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Length<\/td><td>6 m \u00b1 5 cm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Width<\/td><td>7 cm \u00b1 5 mm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Warp Strength<\/td><td>168 N Minimum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Weft Strength<\/td><td>80 N Minimum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fabric Structure<\/td><td>Plain Weave<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Fibre Composition<\/td><td>100% Cotton<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chemical_and_Safety_Requirements\"><\/span>Chemical and Safety Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fabric used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b comes in direct contact with the sensitive parts of the body.

The fabric must be biocompatible; it should not be harmful to the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the standard, the pH value of the fabric should be between 6.8 and 7.2. It is considered safe for the skin and body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of Cytotoxicity and Reactivity should be Nil. So, the fabric should not contain any material that can damage cells or cause adverse reactions in the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scouring Loss is allowed up to a maximum of 6%. The quality and durability of the fabric are evaluated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These tests ensure that the fabric is safe, clean, and suitable for Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Parameter<\/td><td>Requirement<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>pH Value<\/td><td>6.8 \u2013 7.2<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Cytotoxicity<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reactivity<\/td><td>Nil<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scouring Loss<\/td><td>Maximum 6%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Safety_Guidelines_for_Practitioners\"><\/span>Safety Guidelines for Practitioners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vastra Dhaut\u012b is an advanced yogic practice.

This standard provides guidelines regarding the material, structure, size, strength, and safety of the fabrics used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b. It ensures safe and high-quality fabrics for the users.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Why has BIS published IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">The fabrics used in Vastra Dhaut\u012b come into direct contact with the internal parts of the body. So, ensuring the quality and safety of the fabrics is very important. BIS has published this standard so that manufacturers follow certain standards, and users get safe products.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Which material is mandatory for the fabrics of Vastra Dhaut\u012b?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">As per the standard, the fabrics of Vastra Dhaut\u012b must be 100% cotton. A specially woven cotton muslin cloth should be used. It meets the requirements of IS 752. Cotton cloth is considered safe and comfortable for the body. The use of any other fiber or blend is not permitted as per the standard.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What are the dimensions specified in the standard for Vastra Dhaut\u012b cloth?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">According to IS 18994: 2024, the length of the cloth should be 6 meters (\u00b1 5 cm) and the width should be 7 centimeters (\u00b1 5 mm). In addition, specific standards have been set for the density, weight, and strength of the cloth. These dimensions have been set so that the cloth is suitable and safe for the practice of Vastra Dhaut\u012b.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Is the use of 100% cotton mandatory under IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, the use of 100% cotton is mandatory as per this standard. This is because cotton is a natural fiber and is compatible with the body. The use of synthetic or blended fibers may cause adverse reactions or safety issues. So, BIS has allowed the use of only pure cotton.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How does the standard reduce the risk of unravelling or tearing of the fabric?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">According to the standard, the selvage on both sides of the fabric must be folded properly. Also, no loose threads or hanging parts should be left in the fabric. This reduces the possibility of the thread unravelling during use. This important rule helps ensure the safety of the user.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>What is the Breaking Strength Requirement and why is it important?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">According to this standard, the minimum Breaking Strength in the Warp direction should be 168 N and the minimum Breaking Strength in the Weft direction should be 80 N. So, the cloth should be strong enough. If the cloth is weak, it can tear during use. Hence, these standards have been set for safety.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Can new or inexperienced people practice Vastra Dhaut\u012b?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Vastra Dhaut\u012b is generally not recommended for beginners. It is an advanced level of yogic purification practice. It can be risky to perform this practice without proper training and supervision from an experienced teacher.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Does IS 18994: 2024 Vastra Dhaut\u012b help increase the export of yoga products?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, this standard can help increase the acceptance of Indian yoga products in the international market. Buyers have more confidence in quality and tested products. When a product follows recognized standards, it becomes easier to accept in foreign markets. So, the export opportunities can also increase.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>Can Vastra Dhaut\u012b cloth be reused as per IS 18994: 2024?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Yes, the cloth can be reused. However, it should be thoroughly washed, boiled, and disinfected before and after each use. This reduces the risk of germs or contamination. If there is any damage, torn parts, or excessive wear on the cloth, it is better not to use it.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How should certified Vastra Dhaut\u012b cloth be packaged?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Vastra Dhaut\u012b cloth should be packaged in a way that protects it from dust, moisture, and external contamination. Clean and secure packaging helps maintain the quality of the cloth. It ensures the safety of the product during transportation and storage. Proper packaging also helps increase user confidence.<\/p><li style=\"list-style-type: none\"><h3>How can Corpbiz help with BIS certification and compliance?<\/h3><p class=\"saswp-faq-answer-text\">Corpbiz assists businesses in the BIS registration, certification, and compliance process.
