Symbols on back of gadgets to disappear

PanARMENIAN.Net - The U.S. government has passed a new bill which will see many labels stamped on the back of gadgets removed, Digital Spy said.

Under the new E-Label Act, tech firms will be able to label their products electronically, spelling the end for the majority of letters and symbols stamped on the back of your tablet and other tech, Digital Spy reports citing Engadget.

This means that symbols such as the FCC logo and the bin icon will be visible on the devices settings menu instead.

The bill was first proposed by senators Deb Fisher and Jay Rockefeller as a way for tech manufacturers to save time and resources.

However, the move does not spell the absolute end of symbols from the back of tech goods.

The CE logo, which clears products safe for sale in Europe, will remain for the foreseeable future, although it is likely to follow suit at a later date.
