SECONDARY-MARKET INDUSTRIAL PARTS PURCHASE POLICY Version 1.0 — [Company Name] — [Date] PURPOSE This policy establishes a minimum due-diligence requirement for industrial automation parts purchased outside authorized distribution channels. SCOPE Applies to all purchases of: - Used, refurbished, open-box or surplus industrial parts - Parts sourced from online marketplaces (eBay, etc.) - Parts sourced from brokers or non-authorized resellers - Obsolete or discontinued components unavailable from OEM REQUIREMENT Any such purchase above €250 (or any amount affecting production-critical equipment) must include a CT Pre-PO Passport before purchase order approval. The CT Passport must document: - Listing source and URL - CT risk verdict (BUY / VERIFY / BLOCK) - Exception reason (why authorized source is not used) - Asset criticality level - Manager approval or rejection with timestamp - CT Case ID (format: CT-YYYY-NNNNNN) PROCEDURE 1. Buyer identifies secondary-market listing 2. Buyer submits listing at ct-ultramax.com/submit-for-approval 3. CT generates Passport with Case ID and risk record 4. Manager receives approval email with action links 5. Manager approves, rejects or requests seller evidence 6. Approved Passport is attached to PO documentation 7. Outcome is logged after delivery (optional but recommended) EXCEPTIONS Purchases below threshold in genuine emergency may proceed without prior CT Passport, provided a retrospective Passport is created within 48 hours and exception is documented. DISCLAIMER CT reviews listing-level purchase risk only. CT does not physically inspect, authenticate or certify parts. This policy creates a documentation requirement, not a guarantee of part quality or authenticity. [Company Name] · [Department] · [Effective Date] CT Ultramax · ct-ultramax.com/pre-po-passport

Why this policy matters.

🛡️
Liability shield for managers
When audited, managers can show a documented approval process — not just an eBay receipt on a credit card.
📋
Audit trail before the invoice
CT Case ID creates the evidence trail before money is spent — not after a problem is discovered.
⚙️
Works with emergency purchases
Designed for the reality of industrial maintenance: fast, documented, and defensible even under line-down pressure.
🔒
No extra system to learn
Engineers paste a URL. CT returns a document. Manager clicks approve. Takes under 2 minutes.
