4.2.2 Minimum clearances
Minimum distance from transponder to transponder
The specified distances refer to a metal-free environment. For a metallic environment, the
specified minimum distances must be multiplied by a factor of 1.5. The transponders
designed specifically for installation in/on metal are an exception to this.
