Is there a way to check the history of a component?

Hi all,

I am in the process of buying some surplus components - Siemens motor modules, control units, inputs and output modules.

They are obviously quite a lot cheaper than buying new. I am confident the parts are genuine, but is anyone aware of a way in which I can check the history of these components?

I have used the Siemens barcode scanner and all is fine, shows all the details of the components, but I’m wondering if I can look into who originally purchased them or if they have been sold on previously.

Thank you in advance for any information.
