ISO15693 On-Metal RFID NFC Tags
Product Overview
ISO15693 On-Metal NFC Tags are high-frequency RFID tags engineered to operate reliably on metal surfaces, overcoming the interference issues common with traditional NFC tags. These tags are ideal for industrial, logistics, retail, and asset tracking applications where metal is prevalent.
- Standard: ISO/IEC 15693
- Chip Type: ICODE SLIX or other ISO15693-compliant chips
- Frequency: 13.56 MHz
- Compatible Devices: ISO15693 NFC readers and NFC-enabled smartphones
- Certifications: ISO / CE / RoHS, patent-protected technology
Key Benefits and Value
Problem — NFC Tags Fail on Metal Surfaces
- Standard NFC tags often malfunction on or near metal, losing data or failing to read.
- Metal interference reduces scanning efficiency, impacting asset tracking and management accuracy.
Solution — On-Metal NFC Tag Design
- Built-in ferrite shielding isolates metal interference effectively.
- ISO15693 compliance ensures long-range reading, up to 1.5 meters.
- Available in durable PVC or PET with waterproof and high-temperature options.
Data Value — Increased Efficiency and Security
- Extended read range allows rapid scanning in industrial and warehouse environments.
- High reliability ensures precise asset management, inventory tracking, and industrial automation.
- Security features like UID and optional password protection prevent unauthorized access.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between ISO15693 and ISO14443 NFC tags?
A1: ISO14443 tags (e.g., NTAG213/215/216) have shorter read ranges (up to 10 cm) and are mainly used for payments and access control. ISO15693 tags work on metal, offer longer range (up to 1.5 m), and suit asset tracking and industrial applications.
Q2: Can these tags be used on non-metal surfaces?
A2: Yes, they function reliably on plastic, glass, wood, or other non-metal surfaces.
Q3: Can I encode these tags myself?
A3: Yes, using an ISO15693-compliant reader and compatible software. Pre-encoding services are also available.
Q4: Are these tags waterproof?
A4: Yes, options with PVC or PET waterproof materials are available, suitable for outdoor and humid environments.
Q5: Which readers are compatible?
A5: Compatible with all ISO15693 NFC readers and most NFC-enabled smartphones and tablets.
Conclusion
ISO15693 On-Metal RFID NFC Tags provide reliable, long-range, and secure NFC reading on metal surfaces. Ideal for asset management, industrial automation, warehouse logistics, and secure access control, these tags deliver efficiency, traceability, and reliability for professional applications.
