Hello everyone,
I’ve noticed that recently many insects, especially wasps, have been flying around my roller shutter box. It seems they are looking for a place to nest.

I took a closer look and saw that the brush seal (I believe that's the correct term for this strip) is installed about 2.5cm (1 inch) away from the shutter curtain.
It would be better if the brush slightly touched the curtain. This would largely prevent insects from flying into the roller shutter box.
However, the strip with the brush appears to be too short at the front. If it were 2.5cm (1 inch) longer, the brush would brush against the shutter curtain.

Can someone please tell me if there is any guideline or regulation that states the brush seal must rest against the shutter curtain?

My roller shutter system is less than two years old!

Thank you very much for your help!

No idea. But one thing I can tell without any standard: this seal does not provide a tight closure.

Does no one here have any information on guidelines, DIN standards, etc.?

It can't be that brush seals were installed that don't touch the roller shutter curtain at all...

The seal is non-functional, which means something was installed incorrectly. Period.

You don’t need this kind of backup. Point out the defect exactly as it is and as you can identify and describe it as a consumer (who doesn’t need to know any standards). You don’t have to worry about anyone citing a standard that would allow bumblebees up to 25mm (1 inch) of free access. A seal doesn’t have to be perfect, but it does have to actually seal.

Ok, I will file a complaint to have the upper gap closed as well as possible with a suitable profile. Thank you.
