Saudi Arabia sets rules for tailoring shops.
The requirements reach beyond where the sewing machines go. Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Municipalities and Housing is calling on shops that tailor, design or embroider men’s and women’s clothes to designate areas for reception, payment, sewing, storage and display. They must leave room to move between display units and provide at least two waiting seats. The unified QR code has to be on the storefront and accessible after hours, so people can check the shop’s licenses and government documents. Electronic payment must be available and not refused. Safety requirements include building and fire protections and a first-aid kit. Work must stay within the licensed shop, with municipalities responsible for monitoring compliance.
