7.10.3.3 Range when mounted on non-metallic carrier materials
The transponder is generally designed for mounting on metallic objects which provide the
conditions for the maximum reading ranges

Carrier material
Range
Transponder on wooden carrier
approx. 60%
Transponder on plastic carrier

You will find more detailed information on the range in the section "Minimum distances and
maximum ranges (Page 337)".
