Checking the ECAC list for ETDs here >>>>>
https://www.ecac-ceac.org/documents/10189/62763/ECAC-CEP-ETD-Web-Update-20-February-2019.pdf/771e9026-a606-4a30-b8cf-6316e165b2d1
I see devices by the following companies below but am not aware which ones might be considered direct competition in Europe or which ones have the latest technology that 1ST Detect is professing to have and would have to do more research or,(anyone else can certainly do so if they feel so inclined,be my guest).
When you start looking at the devices individually it is a bit complicated and somewhat daunting trying to determine whether they are or are not head to head competition.
It is my stance and apparently 1st Detects that the other systems available are "antiquated and cumbersome ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) based ETDs for decades"
I believe I already determined Smiths is not direct competition,at least currently with devices they have available on the TSA United States website on the link below and as well the post I made on here March 8th,2019 link below at bottom of this page;Competition directly from Smiths on the ECAC website I have not determined yet and cannot currently say one way or the other;However,I assume if it is not direct competition on the TSA website it wouldn't be on ECAC,but not necessarily the case.

I think worst case scenario here 1St Detect could be bought out by one of these other companies.

Recall that ASTC/1st Detect is claiming
“The 1st Detect TRACER 1000 ECAC certification marks the end of the old and ushers in a new era of efficiency and savings. The TRACER 1000, with its near-zero false alarm rate, has been designed to reduce risk, speed up the passenger lanes, and save airports hundreds of millions in unnecessary screening costs. Airport security personnel and passengers have been struggling with antiquated and cumbersome ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) based ETDs for decades, and it is now time to speed up the lanes and end the needless and embarrassing pat-downs. The industry has long been looking for a solution and after many years of hard work we are very proud to introduce the breakthrough TRACER 1000 ETD technology,” stated Thomas B. Pickens III, CEO of Astrotech."
