"After the implementation of the new national standard, I want to buy a 1.5-meter-wide children's bed, strolling around, basically did not see 3,000 yuan or less," Ms. Lu, who is selecting furniture, told reporters. The reporter found that the new standard landed, the price of children's furniture also rose.
New national standard or an excuse for rising children's furniture
Xiao Li, a brand store salesperson, said: "The new price has already come down, and the average price has increased by about 30%. The price increase is much larger than ever before." Another salesperson also said that it will be upgraded in September. The price is 10%; the salesperson of an imported brand confessed: "Children's furniture generally has to be adjusted 1-2 times a year, only rising or not falling."
The person in charge of the colorful life furniture who participated in the formulation of the new national standard told the reporter: "After the implementation of the new national standard, the small furniture factory may face a big round of price adjustment, but the original standard of the big factory is already very strict, and the price should not fluctuate greatly. At present, the price of children's furniture has been generally higher than that of adult furniture. The furniture for a children's room is generally more than 10,000 yuan."
New national standard is an excuse for enterprises to raise prices
According to the person in charge of the iconic wood industry, “E0 grade board is about 20% more expensive than E1 grade board.†Xie Wenqiao, secretary general of Wuhan Furniture Association, said: “In the past, children’s furniture prices were relatively cheap, and some merchants would not be excluded. Take this opportunity to raise prices."
Guo Xiangyang, chairman of the Songbao Kingdom, told the reporter: "The new national standard has been introduced, and the production cost of enterprises has risen. The price increase is inevitable. The price increase of children's furniture like the Songbao Kingdom is more than 30%. For example, the previous children's furniture was used. Oily paint, and then Songbao children's furniture will be fully water-based paint, the cost of water-based paint is at least 50% higher than oil paint, and the cost of workers is at least 50%, so the increase is at least 30%."
The industry believes that although there is no national standard in the past, there are always requirements for the control of hazardous substances and the selection of plates and paints. Therefore, the new national standard is not out of reach, the current process of the enterprise can be achieved, and the cost increase is extremely limited. The only place to introduce the national standard to increase the production cost of the enterprise is to increase some processing procedures, including punching and edge arc processing, but without adding too much material, it is not enough to cause the price increase of children's furniture. For the increased costs of enterprises due to the implementation of new standards, some experts said that the increase should be between 5% and 10%. The industry believes that the implementation of the national standard will not cause enterprises to "reshuffle" for standard reasons, but should be wary of the company's efforts to raise prices through the national standard.
In any case, the implementation of the new national standard is responsible for the enterprise and the consumers. The enterprise should produce children's furniture in strict accordance with the requirements of the new national standard. If there is a certain price increase, consumers should understand, but the enterprise cannot use the new national standard to mention price.
