(insurance contexts)


Explanation:
The term "clausulado" frequently comes up in legal and business contexts, where it may have just the meaning given to it in, for example, Collins Spanish Dictionary (4th edition).

You say that the context of your text is "insurance" (or a glossary of insurance terms). Here is one context from an insurance context (there are others if you care to search for them):-

Contrato de Seguros.- Es el contrato mediante el cual una parte se obliga al pago de una prima para poder tener derecho a recibir las indemnizaciones a consecuencia de una pérdida o daño amparada en el mismo. La otra parte se obliga a cubrir dichas indemnizaciones de acuerdo con el CLAUSULADO de dicho contrato en dónde generalmente se establecen las condiciones en que deben ocurrir los siniestros, se definen las exclusiones, las limitaciones y las condiciones de pago, temporalidad del compromiso y definiciones de los aspectos relacionados con el seguro.
(http://www.seguros.com.mx/glosario.htm)

I could only find one citation for "taller clausurado" (if "clausurado" is the intended spelling in your text) but it was not in an insurance context -- and it appears to be used in a rather metaphorical sense, which makes me think that it is a standard figure of speech applicable in other contexts of the same kind. Here is the context:-

LIBRO BIOGRÁFICO. Andrés Castaño Castro, el último santeiro de Chave, fue desde luego el maestro por excelencia de los cristos colgados. Nació en 1881 y falleció en 1961, nieto del vello santeiro Andrés Castro Fernández (1825-1914). Fue éste el último de la estirpe que al fallecer dejó aquella escuela de santeiros, aquel taller clausurado para siempre. Pero el mito sigue reinando desde el más allá y su nombre pervivirá, en opinión de su nieto José Andrés Castro Castaño, autor de la segunda obra más importante y más completa sobre la vida del último artista lousamiano.

What the English language equivalent of the insurance term is (if any exists) I do not know, but I do hope this helps in your further search for an appropriate and plausible translation of the Spanish expression you specified.

closed shop?


Explanation:
Could taller clausulado be the same as taller cerrado (as opposed to taller abierto, open shop), speaking in union terms)?

Included in Clause


Explanation:
Unless there is a typo, clausulado means that the particular shop (part of a bigger business) is included for coverage in a clause or clauses to the (global) insurance policy.
