Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Proposed Spin-Off Transaction	Proposed Spin-Off Transaction
	In December 2012, the Company's Board of Directors announced a plan to spin off the commercial and residential security businesses. The separation will result in two stand-alone companies: Ingersoll-Rand plc; and Allegion plc, a leading global provider of electronic and mechanical security products and services, delivering comprehensive solutions to commercial and residential customers. This new company’s portfolio of brands will include Schlage®, Von Duprin®, LCN®, CISA®, and Interflex®.
	The completion of the spin-off is subject to certain customary conditions, unless waived by Ingersoll Rand, including receipt of regulatory approvals; the receipt of a private letter ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and opinions of tax counsel confirming that the distribution and certain transactions entered into in connection with the distribution generally will be tax-free to Ingersoll Rand and its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, except for cash received in lieu of fractional shares; execution of intercompany agreements; effectiveness of appropriate filings with the SEC; and final approval of the transactions contemplated by the spin-off, as may be required under Irish law. There can be no assurance that any separation transaction will ultimately occur, or, if one does occur, its terms or timing. The disclosures and financial statements within these condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows of the commercial and residential security businesses as continuing operations.
	Upon completion of the spin-off, Allegion plc will hold the commercial and residential security businesses and will become an independent publicly traded company. Allegion plc is an Irish public limited company.
	During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred $25.7 million and $57.7 million of professional service fees related to the proposed spin-off, respectively. These costs are reported in Selling and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
	Allegion Debt Structure
	In relation to the proposed spin-off of our commercial and residential security businesses, our indirect, wholly owned subsidiary, Allegion US Holding Company Inc. (Allegion Holdings) expects to have approximately $1.3 billion of indebtedness at the time of the spin-off, the net proceeds of which will be distributed to IR-Ireland prior to the spin-off. In addition, Allegion Holdings expects to have a senior secured revolving credit facility permitting borrowings of up to $500 million.
	Senior Notes
	In October 2013, Allegion Holdings issued $300 million of its 5.75% senior notes due 2021. The senior notes accrue interest at the rate of 5.75% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2014. The senior notes will mature on October 1, 2021. The proceeds from the issuance will be held in escrow until prior to the consummation of the spin-off, when the net proceeds will be distributed to the Company.
	Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities
	In September 2013, Allegion Holdings completed the syndication of $1 billion of senior secured term loan facilities. The Term Facilities consist of (i) a Term A Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million due in 2018 and (ii) a Term B Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $500 million due in 2020 (the loans under such Term Facilities, the Term Loans). The net proceeds of the Term Loans will be drawn and distributed to the Company prior to the consummation of the spin-off.
	The Company will not be a guarantor or obligor with respect to the Senior Notes, the Senior Secured Term Loan Facilities, or the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]

	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
	In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2011-11 requires enhanced disclosures including both gross and net information about financial and derivative instruments eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2011-11 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." ASU 2013-01 clarifies the scope of ASU 2011-11 to apply to derivative instruments that are offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This clarified guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The revised requirements of ASU 2013-01 did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" (AOCI). ASU 2013-02 requires a rollforward of changes in AOCI by component and information about significant reclassifications from AOCI to Net earnings to be presented in one location, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. This new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012 and subsequent interim periods. The requirements of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. The revised disclosure requirements are reflected in Note 11.
	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date." ASU 2013-04 provides guidance for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements where the total obligation is fixed at the reporting date, and for which no specific guidance currently exists. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity." ASU 2013-05 clarifies the application of GAAP to the release of cumulative translation adjustments related to changes of ownership in or within foreign entities, including step acquisitions. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-10, "Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes." ASU 2013-10 allows the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) to be designated as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government and the London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. The amendments are effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The Company does not anticipate the requirements of ASU 2013-10 will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." ASU 2013-11 clarifies guidance and eliminates diversity in practice on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists at the reporting date. This new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2013 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

	* During 2013, the Company made reclassifications to goodwill across all segments, including a reclassification of goodwill related to a product line transfer from the Security Technologies segment to the Residential Solutions segment.
	** The Company performed an interim impairment test on goodwill of its Security Technologies Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa ("EMEIA") reporting unit during the third quarter of 2013. In its 2012 Form 10-K filing, the Company disclosed that the fair value of its Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 2.5% as of October 1, 2012. The Company continued to monitor the close proximity of the reporting unit's carrying value compared to its fair value and, in the third quarter, determined it was required to complete the first step of a two-step interim impairment test, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The results of the third quarter 2013 interim impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit was less than its carrying value; consequently, the Company completed the second step of the interim impairment test which resulted in a $111.4 million non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge.

	Senior Notes due 2019, 2023, and 2043
	In June 2013, the Company issued $1.55 billion principal amount of Senior Notes in three tranches through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global) pursuant to Rule 144A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act). The tranches consist of $350 million of 2.875% Senior Notes due in 2019, $700 million of 4.250% Senior Notes due in 2023, and $500 million of 5.750% Senior Notes due in 2043. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of IR-Ireland, Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited (IR-Limited), and Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (IR-International). Interest on the notes will be paid twice a year in arrears. The Company has the option to redeem the notes in whole or in part at any time, and from time to time, prior to their stated maturity date at redemption prices set forth in the indenture agreement. The notes are subject to certain customary covenants, however, none of these covenants are considered restrictive to the Company’s operations. In connection with the issuance of each series of notes, IR-Global, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the notes entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. Each Registration Rights Agreement requires IR-Global and the Guarantors to use their commercially reasonable efforts to execute an effective exchange offer registration statement with the SEC no later than 365 days after the closing date of the notes offering and to complete an exchange offer within 30 business days of such effective date. If a registration default occurs additional interest shall accrue on the notes. The proceeds from these notes were used to fund the July 2013 redemption of $600 million of 6.000% Senior Notes due 2013 and $655 million of 9.500% Senior Notes due 2014 and to fund expenses related to the spin-off of the commercial and residential security businesses, with any remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.
	In July 2013, the Company fully redeemed the outstanding principal amount of $600 million of its 6.000% Senior Notes due 2013 and $655 million of its 9.500% Senior Notes due 2014, resulting in $45.6 million of redemption premium expense recorded in the third quarter of 2013 in Interest expense.
	Credit Facilities
	As of September 30, 2013, the Company has a 5-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing on March 15, 2017, and a 4-year, $1.0 billion revolving credit facility maturing on May 20, 2015, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, IR-Global.

Financial Instruments Abstract
Financial Instruments	Financial Instruments
	In the normal course of business, the Company may use various financial instruments, including derivative instruments, to manage the risks associated with interest rate and currency rate exposures. These financial instruments are not used for trading or speculative purposes.
	On the date a derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative instrument as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, a cash flow hedge of a recognized asset or liability, or as an undesignated derivative. The Company formally documents its hedge relationships, including identification of the derivative instruments and the hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. This process includes linking derivative instruments that are designated as hedges to specific assets, liabilities or forecasted transactions.
	The fair market value of derivative instruments is determined through market-based valuations and may not be representative of the actual gains or losses that will be recorded when these instruments mature due to future fluctuations in the markets in which they are traded.
	The Company assesses at inception, and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the derivatives used in cash flow hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the cash flows of the hedged item. To the extent the derivative is deemed to be a highly effective hedge, the fair market value changes of the instrument are recorded to AOCI.
	Any ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is recorded in Net earnings in the period of change. If the hedging relationship ceases to be highly effective, or it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the hedging relationship will be undesignated and any future gains and losses on the derivative instrument will be recorded in Net earnings.
	Currency Hedging Instruments
	The notional amount of the Company’s currency derivatives was $1,669.5 million and $1,656.7 million at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, a loss of $2.5 million and $4.0 million, net of tax, respectively, was included in AOCI related to the fair value of the Company’s currency derivatives designated as accounting hedges. The amount expected to be reclassified into Net earnings over the next twelve months is a loss of $2.5 million. The actual amounts that will be reclassified to Net earnings may vary from this amount as a result of changes in market conditions. Gains and losses associated with the Company’s currency derivatives not designated as hedges are recorded in Net earnings as changes in fair value occur. At September 30, 2013, the maximum term of the Company’s currency derivatives was approximately twelve months.
	Other Derivative Instruments
	In February 2013, the Company entered into forward starting interest rate swaps for $750.0 million of the forecasted issuance of $1.2 billion of Senior Notes due in 2023 and 2043. These interest rate swaps met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps were recognized in AOCI. No further gain or loss will be recognized in AOCI related to these interest rate swaps as the contracts were terminated upon the June 2013 issuance of the underlying debt. The amount of AOCI associated with these interest rate swaps at the time of termination will be recognized in Interest expense over the term of the notes. At September 30, 2013, $10.3 million of gains remained in AOCI related to these interest rate swaps. The amount expected to be reclassified into Interest expense over the next twelve months is $0.7 million.
	During the third quarter of 2008, the Company entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of approximately $1.4 billion of Senior Notes due in 2013 and 2018. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were recognized in AOCI. No further gain or loss will be recognized in AOCI related to these interest rate locks as the contracts were effectively terminated upon issuance of the underlying debt. However, the amount of AOCI associated with these interest rate locks at the time of termination will be recognized into Interest expense over the term of the notes. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $5.9 million and $7.2 million, respectively, of losses remained in AOCI related to these interest rate locks. The amount related to the Senior Notes due in 2018 expected to be reclassified into Interest expense over the next twelve months is $1.2 million.
	In March 2005, the Company entered into interest rate locks for the forecasted issuance of $300 million of Senior Notes due 2015. These interest rate locks met the criteria to be accounted for as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction. Consequently, the changes in fair value of the interest rate locks were recognized in AOCI. No further gain or loss will be recognized in AOCI related to these interest rate locks as the contracts were effectively terminated upon issuance of the underlying debt. However, the amount of AOCI associated with these interest rate locks at the time of termination will be recognized into Interest expense over the term of the notes. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $2.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of losses remained in AOCI related to these interest rate locks. The amount expected to be reclassified into Interest expense over the next twelve months is $1.3 million.

Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions	9 Months Ended

General Discussion of Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions	Pensions and Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions
	The Company sponsors several U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering substantially all of our U.S. employees. Additionally, the Company has many non-U.S. defined benefit and defined contribution plans covering eligible non-U.S. employees. Postretirement benefits, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible retired employees.
	Pension Plans
	The noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering non-collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on an average pay formula while most plans for collectively bargained U.S. employees provide benefits on a flat dollar benefit formula. The non-U.S. pension plans generally provide benefits based on earnings and years of service. The Company also maintains additional other supplemental plans for officers and other key employees.
	In June 2012, the Board of Directors approved amendments to the Company's retirement plans for certain U.S. and Puerto Rico non-bargained employees. Eligible non-bargained employees hired prior to July 1, 2012 were given a choice of remaining in their respective defined benefit plan until the plan freezes on December 31, 2022 or freezing their accrued benefits in their respective defined benefit plan as of December 31, 2012 and receiving an additional 2% non-matching Company contribution into the Company's applicable defined contribution plan. Eligible employees hired or rehired on or after July 1, 2012 automatically receive the 2% non-matching Company contribution into the applicable defined contribution plan in lieu of participating in the defined benefit plan. Beginning January 1, 2023, all eligible employees will receive the 2% non-matching contribution into the applicable defined contribution plan. As a result of these changes, the Company's projected benefit obligations for the amended plans were remeasured in June 2012, which included updating the discount rate assumption to 4.00% from the 4.25% assumed at December 31, 2011. The amendments resulted in a 2012 curtailment loss of $4.0 million. The amendment and remeasurement resulted in an increase of $1.0 million to the projected benefit obligation, an increase of $29.4 million to the plan assets, an actuarial gain of $28.4 million and a credit of $4.0 million to prior service cost during 2012.
	The components of the Company’s net periodic pension benefit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
		Three months ended						Nine months ended
	In millions	2013			2012			2013			2012
	Service cost	$	20.2		$	23.5		$	66.3		$	73
	Interest cost	39.9			40.9			118.2			122.3
	Expected return on plan assets	(42.2		)	(43.9		)	(126.1		)	(129.5		)

	Net periodic pension benefit cost	36.9			37.5			110.8			114.8
	Net curtailment and settlement losses	—			0.4			—			4.5
	Net periodic pension benefit cost after net curtailment and  settlement losses	$	36.9		$	37.9		$	110.8		$	119.3
	Amounts recorded in continuing operations	$	33.9		$	36.6		$	103.2		$	112.2
	Amounts recorded in discontinued operations	3			1.3			7.6			7.1
	Total	$	36.9		$	37.9		$	110.8		$	119.3
	The Company made required and discretionary employer contributions of $45.3 million and $34.6 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	The curtailment and settlement losses in 2012 are associated with lump sum distributions under supplemental benefit plans for officers and other key employees.
	Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
	The Company sponsors several postretirement plans that provide for healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits that cover certain eligible retired employees. The Company funds postretirement benefit obligations principally on a pay as you go basis. Generally, postretirement health benefits are contributory with contributions adjusted annually. Life insurance plans for retirees are primarily noncontributory.
	In February 2012, the Board of Directors approved amendments to its postretirement medical plan with respect to post-65 retiree medical coverage. Effective January 1, 2013, the Company discontinued offering company-sponsored retiree medical coverage for certain individuals age 65 and older. The Company transitioned affected individuals to coverage through the individual Medicare market and will provide a tax-advantaged subsidy to those retirees eligible for subsidized company coverage that can be used toward reimbursing premiums and other qualified medical expenses for individual Medicare supplemental coverage that is purchased through our third-party Medicare coordinator. As a result of these changes, the Company's projected benefit obligations were remeasured in February 2012, which included updating the discount rate assumption to 3.75% from the 4.00% assumed at December 31, 2011. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease of $40.5 million to the projected benefit obligation, an actuarial loss of $21.3 million and a credit of $61.8 million to prior service cost.
	The components of net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
		Three months ended						Nine months ended
	In millions	2013			2012			2013			2012
	Service cost	$	1.6		$	1.6		$	5		$	5.5

	Net actuarial losses	(0.1		)	0.1			5.3			5.4
	Net periodic postretirement benefit cost	$	4.8		$	6.1		$	21.8		$	26.6
	Amounts recorded in continuing operations	$	3.2		$	4.4		$	14		$	17.5

Fair Value Measurement Abstract
Fair Value Measurement	Fair Value Measurement
	Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a framework that utilizes the inputs market participants use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy to prioritize those inputs. The fair value hierarchy is comprised of three levels that are described below:
	•	Level 1 – Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	•	Level 2 – Inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
	•	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs based on little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities.
	The fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Observable inputs are obtained from independent sources and can be validated by a third party, whereas unobservable inputs reflect assumptions regarding what a third party would use in pricing an asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
	Assets and liabilities measured at fair value at September 30, 2013 were as follows:
		Fair value measurements						Total
	In millions	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		fair value

	Total financial instruments not carried at fair value	$	—	$	3,663.10	$	—	$	3,663.10
	The Company determines the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using the following methodologies:
	•	Marketable securities – These securities include investments in publicly traded stock of non-U.S. companies held by non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Company. The fair value is obtained for the securities based on observable market prices quoted on public stock exchanges.
	•	Derivative instruments – These instruments include forward contracts related to non-U.S. currencies and forward starting interest rate swaps. The fair value of the derivative instruments are determined based on a pricing model that uses inputs from actively quoted currency markets that are readily accessible and observable.
	•	Debt – These securities are recorded at cost and include fixed-rate debentures, with a put feature, maturing in 2027 and 2028, which only require early prepayment at the option of the holder; and other fixed-rate debentures and senior notes maturing through 2043. The fair value of the long-term debt instruments is obtained based on observable market prices quoted on public exchanges for similar instruments.
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings are a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
	These methodologies used by the Company to determine the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities at September 30, 2013 are the same as those used at December 31, 2012. There have been no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 categories.

	During the first quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a correcting adjustment resulting in the reversal of $13.5 million ($8.3 million after tax) of previously charged compensation expense related to the accounting for stock option forfeitures. The Company concluded the correcting adjustment is not material to 2012 or to any of its previously issued annual or interim financial statements.
	Stock Options/RSUs
	Eligible participants may receive (i) stock options, (ii) RSUs or (iii) a combination of both stock options and RSUs. Grants issued during the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
		2013							2012
		Number			Weighted-				Number			Weighted-
		granted			average fair				granted			average fair
					value per award							value per award
	Stock options	1,338,402			$	16.54			1,463,352			$	13.67
	RSUs	575,176			$	52.92			636,622			$	40.69
	The fair value of each of the Company’s stock option and RSU awards is expensed on a straight-line basis over the required service period, which is generally the 3-year vesting period. However, for stock options and RSUs granted to retirement eligible employees, the Company recognizes expense for the fair value at the grant date.
	The average fair value of the stock options granted is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The following assumptions were used during the nine months ended September 30:
			2013			2012
	Dividend yield		1.6	%		1.33	%
	Volatility		42.15	%		43.6	%
	Risk-free rate of return		0.85	%		0.92	%
	Expected life		5.1 years			5.1 years
	Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility from traded options on the Company's stock. The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield curve of a zero-coupon U.S. Treasury bond on the date the award is granted with a maturity equal to the expected term of the award. Historical data is used to estimate forfeitures within the Company's valuation model. The expected life of the Company's stock option awards is derived from historical experience and represents the period of time that awards are expected to be outstanding.
	PSUs
	The Company has a Performance Share Program for key employees. The program provides awards in the form of PSUs based on performance against pre-established objectives. The annual target award level is expressed as a number of the Company's ordinary shares. All PSUs are settled in the form of ordinary shares unless deferred. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company granted PSUs with a maximum award level of approximately 0.5 million shares.
	Awards granted in 2011 are based upon the Company's relative earnings-per-share (EPS) growth as compared to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over the three-year performance period.
	Awards granted after 2011 are based 50% upon a performance condition, measured at each reporting period by relative EPS growth to the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index and the fair market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant, and 50% upon a market condition, measured by the Company's relative total shareholder return (TSR) as compared to the TSR of the industrial group of companies in the S&P 500 Index over the three-year performance period. The fair value of the market condition is estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach in a risk-neutral framework based upon historical volatility, risk-free rates and correlation matrix.
	Deferred Compensation
	The Company allows key employees to defer a portion of their eligible compensation into a number of investment choices, including its ordinary share equivalents. Any amounts invested in ordinary share equivalents will be settled in ordinary shares of the Company at the time of distribution.
	Other Plans
	The Company has issued stock grants as an incentive plan to certain key employees, with varying vesting periods. All stock grants are settled with the Company’s ordinary shares.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes
	The provision for income taxes involves a significant amount of management judgment regarding interpretation of relevant facts and laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Future changes in applicable laws, projected levels of taxable income and tax planning could change the effective tax rate and tax balances recorded by the Company. In addition, tax authorities periodically review income tax returns filed by the Company and can raise issues regarding its filing positions, timing and amount of income or deductions, and the allocation of income among the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. A significant period of time may elapse between the filing of an income tax return and the ultimate resolution of an issue raised by a revenue authority with respect to that return. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands and the United States. In general, the examination of the Company’s material tax returns is complete for the years prior to 2001, with certain matters being resolved through appeals and litigation.
	In 2007, the Company received a notice from the IRS containing proposed adjustments to the Company's tax filings in connection with an audit of the 2001 and 2002 tax years. The IRS did not contest the validity of the Company's reincorporation in Bermuda. The IRS proposed to ignore the entities that hold the intercompany debt incurred in connection with the Company's reincorporation in Bermuda and to which the interest was paid and impose 30% withholding tax on a portion of the interest payments as if they were made directly to a company that was not eligible for reduced U.S. withholding tax under a U.S. income tax treaty. The IRS asserted that the Company owes additional taxes with respect to 2002 of approximately $84 million plus interest. The Company strongly disagreed with the view of the IRS and filed a protest. In 2010, the Company received an amended notice from the IRS assessing penalties of 30% on the asserted underpayment of tax described above.
	The Company has so far been unsuccessful in resolving this dispute and recently received a Notice of Deficiency from the IRS for 2002. When a taxpayer receives a Notice of Deficiency, it has 90 days to file a petition in the United States Tax Court, or it must pay the tax. The Company intends to file a petition in the Tax Court within the 90 day time limit, which expires in early November 2013.
	Recently the IRS examination team auditing the Company's 2003-2006 tax years provided Notices of Proposed Adjustment (NOPAs) related to the Company's interest payments on the intercompany debt issued in connection with its reincorporation in Bermuda. In these notices, which reflect the examination team's written position but are not a formal assertion of tax owed, the IRS asserts that the Company owes a total of approximately $665 million of additional taxes, as described more fully below, in connection with these interest payments for the 2003-2006 period, plus penalties and interest on these unpaid taxes.
	In these NOPAs, the IRS continues to take the position on this intercompany debt, which was retired at the end of 2011, that it previously took for the Company's 2002 tax year and which is described above. As a result of this recharacterization, the IRS asserts that the Company owes approximately $455 million of withholding tax for 2003-2006 plus 30% penalties.
	The IRS also proposes to extend its position further and to treat all of the interest income from this intercompany debt as “earned” by IR-Limited and, as a result, recharacterize the distributions made by IR-Limited during the 2002-2006 tax years as taxable dividends instead of as a return of capital. Consequently the IRS asserts that the Company owes approximately $210 million of income tax on these dividends plus penalties of 20%.
	Although the Company expects it to do so, the IRS has not yet proposed any similar adjustments for years subsequent to 2006, as the federal income tax audits for those years are still in process or have not yet begun. In addition, the Company does not know how the IRS will apply its position to the different facts presented in those years or whether the IRS will take a similar position in future audits with respect to intercompany debt instruments not outstanding in prior years.
	The Company has vigorously contested all of these proposed adjustments and intends to continue to do so. Although the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based upon an analysis of the merits of the Company's position the Company believes that it is adequately reserved under the applicable accounting standards for these matters and does not expect that the ultimate resolution will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows. As the Company moves forward to resolve these matters with the IRS, the reserves established may be adjusted. Although the Company continues to contest the IRS's position, there can be no assurance that it will be successful. If the IRS's position with respect to the 2002-2006 tax years is ultimately sustained the Company would be required to record additional charges and the resulting liability will have a material adverse impact on its future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
	The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable resolution of any tax disputes, but will adjust its reserves if events so dictate in accordance with GAAP. To the extent that the ultimate results differ from the original or adjusted estimates of the Company, the effect will be recorded in the Provision for income taxes.
	Total unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were $550.0 million and $533.7 million, respectively.

	In November 2007, the Company completed the sale of its Bobcat, Utility Equipment and Attachments businesses (collectively, Compact Equipment) to Doosan Infracore for gross proceeds of approximately $4.9 billion, subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments. Compact Equipment manufactured and sold compact equipment, including skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, mini-excavators and telescopic tool handlers; portable air compressors, generators and light towers; general-purpose light construction equipment; and attachments. During the second quarter of 2012, Doosan Infracore paid the Company a total of $46.5 million to settle outstanding receivables and disputed post-closing matters.
	Discontinued operations, net of tax from previously sold businesses is mainly related to postretirement benefits, product liability, worker's compensation, legal costs (mostly asbestos-related), and tax effects of post-closing purchase price adjustments.

	Basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net earnings attributable to IR-Ireland by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted EPS is calculated after adjusting the denominator of the basic EPS calculation for the effect of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares, which in the Company’s case, includes shares issuable under share-based compensation plans and the effects of the Exchangeable Senior Notes settled in April 2012. The following table summarizes the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the three and nine months ended September 30:
		Three months ended		Nine months ended

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Business Segment Information	Business Segment Information
	The Company classifies its businesses into the following four reportable segments based on industry and market focus: Climate Solutions, Residential Solutions, Industrial Technologies and Security Technologies.
	Segment operating income is the measure of profit and loss that the Company's chief operating decision maker uses to evaluate the financial performance of the business and as the basis for performance reviews, compensation and resource allocation. For these reasons, the Company believes that Segment operating income represents the most relevant measure of segment profit and loss. The Company may exclude certain charges or gains from Operating income to arrive at a Segment operating income that is a more meaningful measure of profit and loss upon which to base its operating decisions.
	A summary of operations by reportable segment for the three and nine months ended September 30 was as follows:

These amounts have been excluded from Segment operating income within the Climate Solutions segment as management excludes these charges from Operating income when making operating decisions about the business.
	(b) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a non-cash, goodwill impairment charge of $111.4 million. These amounts have been excluded from Segment operating income of Security Technologies segment as management excludes these charges from Operating income when making operating decisions about the business.

Commitments And Contingencies Abstract
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies
	The Company is involved in various litigations, claims and administrative proceedings, including those related to environmental, asbestos, and product liability matters. Amounts recorded for identified contingent liabilities are estimates, which are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect additional information when it becomes available. Subject to the uncertainties inherent in estimating future costs for contingent liabilities, except as expressly set forth in this note, management believes that any liability which may result from these legal matters would not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, liquidity or cash flows of the Company.
	Environmental Matters
	The Company continues to be dedicated to an environmental program to reduce the utilization and generation of hazardous materials during the manufacturing process and to remediate identified environmental concerns. As to the latter, the Company is currently engaged in site investigations and remediation activities to address environmental cleanup from past operations at current and former manufacturing facilities.
	The Company is sometimes a party to environmental lawsuits and claims and has received notices of potential violations of environmental laws and regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency and similar state authorities. It has also been identified as a potentially responsible party (PRP) for cleanup costs associated with off-site waste disposal at federal Superfund and state remediation sites. For all such sites, there are other PRPs and, in most instances, the Company’s involvement is minimal.
	In estimating its liability, the Company has assumed it will not bear the entire cost of remediation of any site to the exclusion of other PRPs who may be jointly and severally liable. The ability of other PRPs to participate has been taken into account, based on our understanding of the parties’ financial condition and probable contributions on a per site basis. Additional lawsuits and claims involving environmental matters are likely to arise from time to time in the future.
	During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of expenses for environmental remediation at sites presently or formerly owned or leased by us. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred expenses of $3.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company has recorded reserves for environmental matters of $59.8 million and $65.9 million, respectively. Of these amounts, $44.8 million and $47.3 million relate to remediation of sites previously disposed by the Company. Environmental reserves are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current environmental reserve at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $16.3 million and $22.2 million, respectively. Given the evolving nature of environmental laws, regulations and technology, the ultimate cost of future compliance is uncertain.
	Asbestos-Related Matters
	Certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits in state and federal courts. In virtually all of the suits, a large number of other companies have also been named as defendants. The vast majority of those claims have been filed against either Ingersoll-Rand Company (IR-New Jersey) or Trane U.S. Inc. (Trane) and generally allege injury caused by exposure to asbestos contained in certain historical products sold by IR-New Jersey or Trane, primarily pumps, boilers and railroad brake shoes. Neither IR-New Jersey nor Trane was a producer or manufacturer of asbestos, however, some formerly manufactured products utilized asbestos-containing components such as gaskets and packings purchased from third-party suppliers.
	The Company engages an outside expert to assist in calculating an estimate of the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted future asbestos-related claims and annually performs a detailed analysis with the assistance of an outside expert to update its estimated asbestos-related assets and liabilities. The methodology used to project the Company’s total liability for pending and unasserted potential future asbestos-related claims relied upon and included the following factors, among others:
	•	the outside expert’s interpretation of a widely accepted forecast of the population likely to have been occupationally exposed to asbestos;
	•	epidemiological studies estimating the number of people likely to develop asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and lung cancer;
	•	the Company’s historical experience with the filing of non-malignancy claims against it and the historical ratio between the numbers of non-malignancy and lung cancer claims filed against the Company;
	•	the outside expert’s analysis of the number of people likely to file an asbestos-related personal injury claim against the Company based on such epidemiological and historical data and the Company’s most recent three-year claims history;
	•	an analysis of the Company’s pending cases, by type of disease claimed;
	•	an analysis of the Company’s most recent three-year history to determine the average settlement and resolution value of claims, by type of disease claimed;
	•	adjustments to the future average settlement value of claims, to take into account both inflation and the age of the claimant population; and
	•	an analysis of the period over which the Company has and is likely to resolve asbestos-related claims against it in the future.
	At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, over 80 percent of the open claims against the Company are non-malignancy claims, many of which have been placed on inactive or deferral dockets and the vast majority of which have little or no settlement value against the Company, particularly in light of recent changes in the legal and judicial treatment of such claims.
	The Company’s liability for asbestos-related matters and the asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries were included in the following balance sheet accounts:
	In millions	September 30,			December 31,
		2013			2012
	Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	$	69.1		$	69.1
	Other noncurrent liabilities	766.2			810.4
	Total asbestos-related liabilities	$	835.3		$	879.5
	Other current assets	$	22.4		$	22.5
	Other noncurrent assets	293.2			297.8
	Total asset for probable asbestos-related insurance recoveries	$	315.6		$	320.3
	The Company's asbestos insurance receivable related to IR-New Jersey and Trane was $126.2 million and $189.4 million at September 30, 2013, and $125.5 million and $194.8 million at December 31, 2012, respectively.
	The (costs) income associated with the settlement and defense of asbestos-related claims after insurance recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
		Three months ended						Nine months ended
	In millions	2013			2012			2013			2012
	Continuing operations	$	2.7		$	7.4		$	(2.3	)	$	6.4
	Discontinued operations	(1.5		)	(4.7		)	(6.4		)	(9.7		)
	Total	$	1.2		$	2.7		$	(8.7	)	$	(3.3	)
	IR-New Jersey records income and expenses associated with its asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries within discontinued operations, as they relate to previously divested businesses, primarily Ingersoll-Dresser Pump, which was sold in 2000. Income and expenses associated with Trane’s asbestos liabilities and corresponding insurance recoveries are recorded within continuing operations.
	Trane has now settled claims regarding asbestos coverage with most of its insurers. The settlements collectively account for approximately 95% of its recorded asbestos-related insurance receivable as of September 30, 2013. Most of Trane’s settlement agreements constitute “coverage-in-place” arrangements, in which the insurer signatories agree to reimburse Trane for specified portions of its costs for asbestos bodily injury claims and Trane agrees to certain claims-handling protocols and grants to the insurer signatories certain releases and indemnifications. Trane remains in litigation in an action that Trane filed in November 2010 in the Circuit Court for La Crosse County, Wisconsin, relating to claims for insurance coverage for a subset of Trane's historical asbestos-related liabilities.
	In January 2012, IR-New Jersey filed an action in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, seeking a declaratory judgment and other relief regarding the Company's rights to defense and indemnity for asbestos claims. The defendants are several dozen solvent insurance companies, including companies that had been paying a portion of IR-New Jersey's asbestos claim defense and indemnity costs. The action involves IR-New Jersey's unexhausted insurance policies applicable to the asbestos claims that are not subject to any settlement agreement. The responding defendants generally challenged the Company's right to recovery, and raised various coverage defenses.
	The Company continually monitors the status of pending litigation that could impact the allocation of asbestos claims against the Company's various insurance policies. The Company has concluded that its IR-New Jersey insurance receivable is probable of recovery because of the following factors:
	•	a review of other companies in circumstances comparable to IR-New Jersey, including Trane, and the success of other companies in recovering under their insurance policies, including Trane's favorable settlement discussed above;
	•	the Company's confidence in its right to recovery under the terms of its policies and pursuant to applicable law; and
	•	the Company's history of receiving payments under the IR-New Jersey insurance program, including under policies that had been the subject of prior litigation.
	The amounts recorded by the Company for asbestos-related liabilities and insurance-related assets are based on currently available information. The Company’s actual liabilities or insurance recoveries could be significantly higher or lower than those recorded if assumptions used in the calculations vary significantly from actual results. Key variables in these assumptions include the number and type of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of resolution of each such new claim, the resolution of coverage issues with insurance carriers, and the solvency risk with respect to the Company’s insurance carriers. Furthermore, predictions with respect to these variables are subject to greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. Other factors that may affect the Company’s liability include uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, reforms that may be made by state and federal courts, and the passage of state or federal tort reform legislation.
	The aggregate amount of the stated limits in insurance policies available to the Company for asbestos-related claims acquired over many years and from many different carriers, is substantial. However, limitations in that coverage, primarily due to the considerations described above, are expected to result in the projected total liability to claimants substantially exceeding the probable insurance recovery.
	Other
	Standard product warranty accruals are recorded at the time of sale and are estimated based upon product warranty terms and historical experience. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liabilities and will make adjustments as necessary based on known or anticipated warranty claims, or as new information becomes available.
	The changes in the standard product warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
	In millions	2013			2012
	Balance at beginning of period	$	263.1		$	264.4
	Reductions for payments	(124.9		)	(114.8		)
	Accruals for warranties issued during the current period	117.6			117.4
	Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties	(0.1		)	(1.3		)
	Translation	0.1			(0.1		)
	Balance at end of period	$	255.8		$	265.6
	Standard product warranty liabilities are classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on their expected term. The Company's total current standard product warranty reserve at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $138.4 million and $147.4 million, respectively.
	The Company's extended warranty liability represents the deferred revenue associated with its extended warranty contracts and is amortized into Revenue on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract, unless another method is more representative of the costs incurred. The Company assesses the adequacy of its liability by evaluating the expected costs under its existing contracts to ensure these expected costs do not exceed the extended warranty liability.
	The changes in the extended warranty liability for the nine months ended September 30 were as follows:
	In millions	2013			2012
	Balance at beginning of period	$	375.1		$	372
	Amortization of deferred revenue for the period	(78.6		)	(76.5		)
	Additions for extended warranties issued during the period	66.7			80.1
	Changes to accruals related to preexisting warranties	3			2.5
	Translation	(0.2		)	0.4
	Balance at end of period	$	366		$	378.5
The extended warranty liability is classified as Accrued expenses and other current liabilities or Other noncurrent liabilities based on the timing of when the deferred revenue is expected to be amortized into Revenue. The Company's total current extended warranty liability at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $96.6 million and $98.5 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred costs of $48.6 million and $42.9 million, respectively, related to extended warranties.
Trane has commitments and performance guarantees, including energy savings guarantees, totaling $427.6 million extending from 2013-2032. These guarantees are provided under long-term service and maintenance contracts related to its air conditioning equipment and system controls. Through September 30, 2013, the Company has experienced no significant losses under such arrangements and considers the probability of any significant future losses to be remote.

Guarantor Financial Information Abstract
Condensed Financial Information of Parent Company Only Disclosure	Guarantor Financial Information
	Ingersoll-Rand plc, an Irish public limited company (IR-Ireland), is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company Limited, a Bermuda company (IR-Limited), following a corporate reorganization that became effective on July 1, 2009 (the Ireland Reorganization). IR-Limited is the successor to Ingersoll-Rand Company, a New Jersey corporation (IR-New Jersey), following a corporate reorganization that occurred on December 31, 2001 (the Bermuda Reorganization).
	As part of the Bermuda Reorganization, IR-New Jersey and certain of its subsidiaries hold non-voting, Class B common shares of IR-Limited. In addition, IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the issued public debt securities of IR-New Jersey. IR-New Jersey unconditionally guaranteed payment of the principal and interest on IR-Limited's 4.75% Senior Notes due in 2015 in the aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million. The guarantee is unsecured and provided on an unsubordinated basis. The guarantee ranks equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated debt of IR-New Jersey.
	As part of the Ireland Reorganization, the guarantor financial statements were revised to present IR-Ireland as the ultimate parent company and Ingersoll-Rand International Holding Limited (IR-International) as a stand-alone subsidiary. In addition, the guarantee structure was updated to reflect the newly created legal structure under which (i) IR-International assumed the obligations of IR-Limited as issuer or guarantor, as the case may be, and (ii) IR-Ireland and IR-Limited fully and unconditionally guaranteed the obligations under the various indentures covering the currently outstanding public debt of IR-International, Ingersoll-Rand Global Holding Company Limited (IR-Global), and IR-New Jersey. Neither IR-Ireland nor IR-Limited has issued or intends to issue guarantees in respect of any public indebtedness incurred by Trane. Also as part of the Ireland Reorganization, IR-Limited transferred all the shares of IR-Global to IR-International in exchange for a note payable that initially approximated $15.0 billion, which was then immediately reduced by the settlement of net intercompany payables of $4.1 billion. At September 30, 2013, $10.8 billion remains outstanding.
	The condensed consolidating financial statements present the investments of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International and IR-New Jersey using the equity method of accounting. Intercompany investments in the non-voting Class B common shares are accounted for on the cost method and are reduced by intercompany dividends. In accordance with GAAP, the amounts related to the issuance of the Class B shares have been recorded as a reduction of Total equity. The Notes payable affiliate continues to be reflected on the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet of IR-International and is enforceable in accordance with their terms.
	The following condensed consolidating financial information for IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International, and IR-New Jersey, and all their other subsidiaries is included so that separate financial statements of IR-Ireland, IR-Limited, IR-Global, IR-International and IR-New Jersey are not required to be filed with the SEC. IR-Ireland's subsidiary debt issuers and guarantors are directly or indirectly 100% owned by IR-Ireland and the guarantees are full and unconditional and joint and several.

	* During 2013, the Company made reclassifications to goodwill across all segments, including a reclassification of goodwill related to a product line transfer from the Security Technologies segment to the Residential Solutions segment.
	** The Company performed an interim impairment test on goodwill of its Security Technologies Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa ("EMEIA") reporting unit during the third quarter of 2013. In its 2012 Form 10-K filing, the Company disclosed that the fair value of its Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 2.5% as of October 1, 2012. The Company continued to monitor the close proximity of the reporting unit's carrying value compared to its fair value and, in the third quarter, determined it was required to complete the first step of a two-step interim impairment test, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The results of the third quarter 2013 interim impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit was less than its carrying value; consequently, the Company completed the second step of the interim impairment test which resulted in a $111.4 million non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment charge.

[1]	The Company performed an interim impairment test on goodwill of its Security Technologies Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa ("EMEIA") reporting unit during the third quarter of 2013. In its 2012 Form 10-K filing, the Company disclosed that the fair value of its Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 2.5% as of October 1, 2012. The Company continued to monitor the close proximity of the reporting unit's carrying value compared to its fair value and, in the third quarter, determined it was required to complete the first step of a two-step interim impairment test, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The results of the third quarter 2013 interim impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit was less than its carrying value; consequently, the Company completed the second step of the interim impairment test which resulted in a $111.4 million non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment char
[2]	During 2013, the Company made reclassifications to goodwill across all segments, including a reclassification of goodwill related to a product line transfer from the Security Technologies segment to the Residential Solutions segment.

[1]	The Company performed an interim impairment test on goodwill of its Security Technologies Europe, Middle East, India, and Africa ("EMEIA") reporting unit during the third quarter of 2013. In its 2012 Form 10-K filing, the Company disclosed that the fair value of its Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit exceeded its carrying value by 2.5% as of October 1, 2012. The Company continued to monitor the close proximity of the reporting unit's carrying value compared to its fair value and, in the third quarter, determined it was required to complete the first step of a two-step interim impairment test, as defined under U.S. GAAP. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the carrying value of a reporting unit to its estimated fair value. The results of the third quarter 2013 interim impairment test indicated that the estimated fair value of the Security Technologies EMEIA reporting unit was less than its carrying value; consequently, the Company completed the second step of the interim impairment test which resulted in a $111.4 million non-cash pre-tax goodwill impairment char

These amounts have been excluded from Segment operating income within the Climate Solutions segment as management excludes these charges from Operating income when making operating decisions about the business.
