Obstacles may include:
• Moving metal objects such as lifts, cranes, carriages, escalators, blinds, especially 
ones that are actuated automatically (the influence of such obstacles varies and 
is therefore difficult to assess)
• Metal-panelled rooms and large metal-clad objects such as air conditioners, 
computer rooms, metallized glassed areas (mirrored), fire protection walls, stor-
age tank installations, refrigerating units, boilers
• Building structures and installations such as steel-reinforced concrete ceilings 
and walls, stairways, long corridors, rising mains, cable ducts
• Room furnishings such as metal shelves, file cabinets
