SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTI

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1 . Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Accounting Principles —The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America . The following is a description of Honeywell’s significant accounting policies. Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Honeywell International Inc. and all of its subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling interest is m aintained. Our consolidation policy requires equity investments that we exercise significant influence over but do not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities to be accounted for using the equity method. Inves tments through which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which we do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consol idation. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered to be temporary equity and is therefore reported outside of pe rmanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest' s share of net income (loss) or its redemption value. Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including any asset retirement obligations, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line me thod of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements and 2 to 16 years for machinery and equipment. Recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets is required when there is a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the corresponding asset’s useful life. Goodwill and Indef inite-Lived Intangible Assets —Goodwill and indefinite - lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of March 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This tes ting compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2015 and determined that there was no impairm ent as of that date. Other Intangible Assets with Determinable Lives —Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and other intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 t o 24 years. Sales Recognition —Product and service sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance an d engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long- term contracts are reco rded on a percentage-of-completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis for engineering-type contracts and the units-of-delivery basis for production-type contracts. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when su ch losses become evident. Revenues from contracts with multiple element arrangements are recognized as each element is earned based on the relative fair value of each element provided the delivered elements have value to customers on a standalone basis. Am ounts allocated to each element are based on its objectively determined fair value, such as the sales price for the product or service when it is sold separately or competitor prices for similar products or services. Environmental — We accrue costs related t o environmental matters when it is probable that we have incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For additional information, see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies . Asbestos Related Contingencie s and Insurance Recoveries —We recognize a liability for any asbestos related contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos related matters, we record asbestos related ins urance recoveries that are deemed probable. For additional information, see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies . Aerospace Sales Incentives —We provide sales incentives to commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines in connection with their selectio n of our aircraft equipment, predominately wheel and braking system hardware , avionics, and auxiliary power units, for installation on commercial aircraf t. These incentives consist of free or deeply discounted products, credits for future purchases of prod uct and upfront cash payments . T hese costs are recognized in the period incurred as cost of products sold or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate. Research and Development —Research and development costs for company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Such cos ts are principally included in cost of p roducts s old and were $ 1,856 million , $ 1,892 million and $ 1,804 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . Stock-Based Compensation Plans —The principal awards issued under our stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 18 Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are non-qualified stock options a nd restricted stock units . T he cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in selling, general and administrative expense s . Forfeitures are estimated at the time o f grant to recognize expense for those award s that are expected to vest and are based on our historical forfeiture rates . Pension Benefits — We recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10 % of t he greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment) , and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered . The remaining components of pension (income) expense, primarily service and interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recognized on a quarterly basis ( Pension ongoing (income) expens e ). Foreign Currency Translation —Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. D ollars are translated into U.S. D ollars using year-end exchange rates. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of ac cumulated other comprehensive i ncome ( l os s). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while monetary assets and lia bilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments for these subsidiaries are included in earnings. Derivative Financial Instruments —We minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through our normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes and we do not us e leveraged derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair valu e of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities an d measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hed ges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of t he derivatives are recorded in a ccumulated other c omprehensive i ncome ( l oss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Cash flows of such derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item. Income Taxes —Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. We establish additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully suppor table, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsid iaries are examined by various federal, s tate and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known . Earnings Per Share —Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per s hare is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Reclassifications —Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Recent Accounti ng Pronouncements — We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). ASU s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our con solidated financial posit ion or results of operations. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by permitting classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance on a prospective basis effective with the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. This is a change from the Company’s historical presentation whereby certai n deferred tax assets and liabilities were classified as current and the remainder were classified as non-current. Adoption of the guidance resulted in a reclassification of $ 662 million from current assets and $ 32 million from current liabilities withi n the consolidated balance sh eet as of December 31, 2015. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying pri nciple is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transacti ons to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized b efore contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The effective date was deferred for one year to the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date – interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The guidance permits th e use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related d isclosures.

Acquisitions [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Note 2 . Acquisitions During 2015 , w e acquired businesses for an aggregate cost (net of c ash acquired) of $ 5,244 million. On December 29, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the Elster Division of Melrose Industries plc (Elster), a leading provider of thermal gas solutions for commercial, industrial, and residential heating systems and gas, water, and electricity meters, including smart meters and software and data analytics solutions , for an aggregate value, net of cash acquired, of approximately $ 4 ,899 millio n . Elster had 2015 revenues of approximately $ 1,670 million and will primarily be integrated into ACS. The following amounts represent the preliminary determination of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed that are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. Current assets $532 Intangible assets 2,463 Other noncurrent assets 179 Current liabilities (658) Noncurrent liabilities (836) Net assets acquired 1,680 Noncontrolling interest (3) Goodwill 3,222 Purchase Price $4,899 The identifiable intangible assets primarily include customer relationships, trade names and technology t hat are being amortized over their estimated lives rang ing from 1 to 20 years using straight line and accelerated amortization methods. The goodwill is non-deductible for tax purposes. The results from the date of acquisition through December 31, 2015 were included principally in ACS and were not material to the consolidated results of operations. As of December 31, 2015, the purchase accounting for Elster is subject to final adjustment primarily for the valuation of useful lives of intangible assets, amounts allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, tax balances and for certain pre-acquisition contingencies. I n January 2016, the Company acquired the remaining 30 percent noncontrolling interest in UOP Russell LLC , which develops technology and manufactures modular equipment to process natural gas , for approximately $ 240 million. In February 2016 , the Company acquired 100 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of COM DEV International (COM DEV), a leading satellite and space components provider , for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $ 330 million. COM DEV, a public company in Canada, operates globally and had reported 2015 revenues of approximately $ 180 million. COM DEV will be integrated into Aerospace. In February 2016, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Xtralis International Holdings Limited ( Xtralis ), a leading global provider of aspiration smoke detectio n and perimeter security technologies , for approximately $ 480 million. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2016, pending regulatory approvals. Xtralis will be integrated into ACS.

The workforce reductions were primarily related to cost savings actions taken in connection with our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives. Also , $ 53 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, ma inly in Aerospace and ACS, were returned to income in 201 5 due principally to higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance programs resulting in lower required severance payments, and changes in scope of previously announced repositioning actions. In 2014 , we recognized repositioning charges totaling $ 184 million including severance costs of $ 156 million related to workforce reductions of 2,975 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our seg ments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to cost savings actions taken in connection with our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives, factory transitions in ACS and Aerospace to more cost-effective locations, and site consolidations and organizational realignments of businesses in ACS and PMT. Also, $38 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, mainly in Aerospace and ACS, were returned to income in 201 4 due principally to the change in scope of a previously announced repositioning action and higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance programs resulting in lower required severance payments. In 2013 , we recognized repositioning charges totaling $ 231 million including severance costs of $ 186 million related to workforce reductions of 3,081 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our segments. The workforce reductions were primarily related to cost savings actions taken in connection with our productivity and ongoing functional transformation initiatives, achieving acquisition-related synergies in ACS, outsourcing of non-core components in Aerospace, the shutdown of a manufacturing facility in PMT, and factory transitions in ACS to more cost-effective locations. Also, $30 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance, in ACS and PMT, were returned to income in 201 3 due to changes in the scope of previously announced repositioning actions, lower than e xpected costs in completing the exit of a product line and higher attrition than anticipated in prior severance programs resulting in lower required severance payments.

Income Taxes	Note 5. Income Taxes Income from continuing operations before taxes Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 U.S. $ 3,361 $ 3,340 $ 3,002 Non-U.S. 3,225 2,478 2,410 $ 6,586 $ 5,818 $ 5,412 Tax expense (benefit) Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Tax expense (benefit) consists of Current: U.S. Federal $ 786 $ 746 $ 663 U.S. State 78 39 97 Non-U.S. 560 572 428 $ 1,424 $ 1,357 $ 1,188 Deferred: U.S. Federal $ 196 $ 114 $ 160 U.S. State 49 63 72 Non-U.S. 70 (45) 30 315 132 262 $ 1,739 $ 1,489 $ 1,450 Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 The U.S. federal statutory income tax rate is reconciled to our effective income tax rate as follows: U.S. federal statutory income tax rate 35.0 % 35.0 % 35.0 % Taxes on non-U.S. earnings below U.S. tax rate (1) (8.0) (7.0) (7.2) U.S. state income taxes (1) 1.2 1.2 1.8 Manufacturing incentives (1.5) (1.0) (0.9) ESOP dividend tax benefit (0.4) (0.4) (0.5) Tax credits (1.0) (1.0) (1.8) Reserves for tax contingencies 0.7 (0.2) 0.6 All other items—net 0.4 (1.0) (0.2) 26.4 % 25.6 % 26.8 % (1) Net of changes in valuation allowance The effective tax rate increased by 0.8 percentage points in 2015 compared to 2014 . The increase was primarily attributable to decreased tax benefits from the resolution of tax audits, partially offset by increased tax benefits from manufacturing incentives, the impact of more income in jurisdictions with lower tax rates and fewer reserves. The Company’s non-U.S. effective tax rate for 2015 was 19.5 %, a decrease of approximately 1.8 percentage points compared to 2014. The year-over-year decrease in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily attributable to higher earnings in lower tax rate jurisdictions coupled with lower expense related to reserves in various jurisdictions, p artially offset by an increase from the tax impact of restructuring and dispositions. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to overall non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates. The effective ta x rate decreased by 1.2 percentage points in 2014 compared to 2013 . The decrease was primarily attributable to lower tax expense from the resolution of audits, partially offset by the impact of more income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates and additional reserves. The Company’s non-U.S. effective tax rate for 2014 was 21.3 %, an increase of approximately 2.3 percentage points compared to 2013. The increase in the non-U.S. effective tax rate was primarily attributable to additional reserves and the impact of more income in jurisdictions with higher tax rates , partially offset by the tax impact of dispositions. The effective tax rate was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to overall non-U.S. earnings taxed at lower rates. Deferred tax assets (liabilities) The tax effects of temporary differences and tax carryforwards which give rise to future income tax benefits and payables are as follows: December 31, Deferred tax assets: 2015 2014 Pension $ 500 $ 573 Postretirement benefits other than pensions 292 441 Asbestos and environmental 473 477 Employee compensation and benefits 387 387 Other accruals and reserves 626 672 Net operating and capital losses 620 639 Tax credit carryforwards 198 199 Gross deferred tax assets 3,096 3,388 Valuation allowance (589) (560) Total deferred tax assets $ 2,507 $ 2,828 Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment $ (661) $ (612) Intangibles (1,797) (1,060) Other asset basis differences (293) (286) Other (31) (7) Total deferred tax liabilities (2,782) (1,965) Net deferred tax (liability) asset $ (275) $ 863 As described in Note 1 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Company has presented deferred income taxes as noncurrent as of December 31, 2015 . The change in deferred tax balance was primarily attributable to deferred tax liabilities for intangible assets that were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Elster . O ur gross deferred tax asset includes $ 1,049 million related to non-U.S. operations comprised principally of deductible temporary differences and net operating loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards (mainly in Canada, France, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom ). We maintain a valuation allowance of $ 587 million against a portion of the non-U.S. gross deferred tax assets. The change in the valuation allowance resulted in an increase of $ 114 million , decrease of $ 10 million and increase of $ 49 million to income tax expense in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 . In the event we determine that we will not be able to realize our net deferred tax assets in the future, we will reduce such amounts through an increase to income tax expense in the period such determination is made. Conversely, if we determine that we will be a ble to realize net deferred tax assets in excess of the carrying amounts, we will decrease the recorded valuation allowance through a reduction to income tax expense in the period that such determination is made. As of December 31, 2015 , our net operat ing loss, capital loss and tax credit carryforwards were as follows: Net Operating Expiration and Capital Loss Tax Credit Jurisdiction Period Carryforwards Carryforwards U.S. Federal 2032 $ 2 $ 45 U.S. State 2034 1,315 25 Non-U.S. 2035 517 131 Non-U.S. Indefinite 2,339 - $ 4,173 $ 201 Many jurisdictions impose limitations on the timing and utilization of net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. In those instances whereby there is an expected permanent limitation on the utilization of the net operating loss or tax credit carryforward the deferred tax asset and amount of the carryforward have been reduced. U.S. f ederal income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of the vast majority of our international subsidiaries as it is our intention to reinvest these earnings into the respective subsidiaries. At December 31, 2015 Honeywell has not provided for U.S. federal income and non-U.S. withholding taxes on approximately $ 16 .6 billion of such earnings of our non-U.S. operations. It is not practicable to estimate the amoun t of tax that might be payable if some or all of such earnings were to be repatriated, and the amount of foreign tax credits that would be available to reduce or eliminate the resulting U.S. income tax liability. 2015 2014 2013 Change in unrecognized tax benefits: Balance at beginning of year $ 659 $ 729 $ 722 Gross increases related to current period tax positions 56 65 41 Gross increases related to prior periods tax positions 175 204 118 Gross decreases related to prior periods tax positions (72) (277) (21) Decrease related to resolutions of audits with tax authorities (11) (32) (92) Expiration of the statute of limitations for the assessment of taxes (13) (10) (30) Foreign currency translation (29) (20) (9) Balance at end of year $ 765 $ 659 $ 729 As of December 31, 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 there were $ 765 million, $ 659 million and $ 729 million of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would be recorded as a component of income tax expense. Generally, our unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The following table summarizes these open tax years by major jurisdiction as of December 31, 2015 : Open Tax Years Based on Originally Filed Returns Jurisdiction Examination in Examination not yet progress initiated U.S. Federal 2010 - 2012 2013 - 2015 U.S. State 2008 - 2014 2011 - 2015 United Kingdom N/A 2013 - 2015 Canada (1) 2010 - 2013 2014 - 2015 Germany (1) 2008 - 2012 2013 - 2015 France 2012 - 2014 2005 - 2011, 2015 Netherlands 2009 2011 - 2015 Australia N/A 2010 - 2015 China 2003 - 2014 2015 India 1999 - 2013 2014 - 2015 Italy 2008 - 2012 2014 - 2015 (1) Includes provincial or similar local jurisdictions, as applicable. Based on the outcome of these examinations, or as a result of the expiration of statute of limitations for specific jurisdictions, it is reasonably possible that certain unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken on previously filed tax returns will materially change from those recorded as liabilities in our financial statements. In addition, the outcome of these examinations may impact the valuation of certain deferred tax assets (such as net operating losses) in fut ure periods. Unrecognized tax benefits for examinations in progress were $ 349 million , $ 403 million and $ 431 million, as of December 31, 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 . Estimated interest and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are classified as a co mponent of Tax Expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and totaled $ 11 million , $ 24 million and $ 17 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 . Accrued interest and penalties were $ 336 million , $ 325 million and $ 301 million, as of December 31, 2015 , 2014 , and 2013 .

Financial Instruments And Fair Value Measures [Abstract]
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures	Note 14 . Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures Credit and Market Risk— Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest and currency exchange rates and commodity prices. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations of credit risk. Our counterparties in derivative transact ions are substantial investment and commercial banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering reasonab ly possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of derivative financial instruments to hedging activities. We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the normal cou rse of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate or eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Our sales are not materially dependent on a single customer or a small group of customers. Foreign Currency Risk Management— We conduct our business on a multinational basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiarie s, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade. Our primary objective is to preserve the U.S. Dollar value of foreign currency denominated cash flows and earnings . We attempt to hedge curre ncy exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency exchange forward and option contracts with third parties. We hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Prior to conversion into U.S. dollars, these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. The effects of changes in spot rates are recognized in earnings and included in O th er (Income) Expense. We partially hedge forecasted sales and purchases, which predominantly occur in the next twelve months and are denominated in non-functional currencies, with currency forward contracts. Changes in the forecasted non-functional currency cash flows due to movements in exchange rates are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the currency forward contracts designated as hedges. Market value gains and losses on these contracts are recognized in earnings when the hedged transac tion is recognized. Open foreign currency exchange forward contracts mature predominantly in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 , we had contracts with notional amounts of $ 10,538 million and $ 7,291 million to exchange foreign currencies, princi pally the U.S. Dollar, Euro, British Pound, Chinese Renminbi , Indian Rupee, Mexican Peso, Canadian Dollar, U.A.E. Dirham and Singapore Dollar . We have also designated foreign currency debt as hedges against portions of our net investment in foreign operations during the year ended December 31, 2015 . Gains or losses on the effective portion of the foreign currency debt designated as a net inve stment hedge are recorded in the same manner as foreign currency translation adjustments. The Company did not have ineffectiveness related to net investment hedges during the year ended December 31, 2015 . Interest Rate Risk Management— We use a combina tion of financial instruments, including long-term, medium-term and short-term financing, variable-rate commercial paper, and interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 , i nterest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges effectively changed $ 1,100 million of fixed rate debt at rate of 4.00 to LIBOR based floating rate debt. Our interest rate swaps mature at various dates through 2023 . Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The FASB’s accounting guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). Financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 : December 31, 2015 2014 Assets: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 28 $ 20 Available for sale investments 1,501 1,479 Interest rate swap agreements 92 93 Liabilities: Foreign currency exchange contracts $ 17 $ 10 The foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements are valued using broker quotations, or market transactions in either the listed or over-the-counter markets. As such, these derivative instruments are classified within level 2. The Company also holds investments in commercial paper, certificates of deposits, and time deposits that are designated as available for sale and are valued using published prices based off observable market data . As such, these investments are classified within level 2. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts and notes receivables, payables, commercial paper and short-term borrowings contained in the Consolidated Balance Sheet approximates fair value. The following table sets forth the Company’s financial ass ets and liabilities that were not carried at fair value: December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value Assets Long-term receivables $ 292 $ 283 $ 297 $ 293 Liabilities Long-term debt and related current maturities $ 6,131 $ 6,721 $ 6,985 $ 7,817 The Company determined the fair value of the long- term receivables by discounting based upon the terms of the receivable and counterparty details including credit quality. As such, the fair value of these receivables is considered level 2. The Company determined the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities utilizing transactions in the listed markets for identical or similar liabilities. As such, the fair value of the long-term debt and related current maturities is considered level 2 as well. Interest rate swap agreements are designated as hed ge relationships with gains or losses on the derivative recognized in Interest and other financial charges offsetting the gains and losses on the unde rlying debt being hedged. Losses on interest rate swap agreements recognized in earnings were $ 2 million in the year ended December 31, 2015 . Gains on interest rate swap agreements recognized in earnings were $ 38 million in the year ended 2014 . Gains and losses are fully offset by losses and gains on the underlying debt being hedged. We also economically hedge our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates principally with forward contracts. These contracts are marked-to-market with the resulting gains and losses recognized in earnings of fsetting the gains and losses on the non-functional currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities being hedged. We recognized $ 86 million and $ 181 million of expense , in o ther (i ncome ) e xpense f or the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 . See Note 4 Other (Incom e) Expense for further details of the net impact of these economic foreign currency hedges.

Stock Based Compensation Plans [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	Note 18 . Stock-Based Compensation Plans Under the terms of the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan of Honeywell International Inc. and its Affiliates (2011 Plan) there were 14,050,760 shares of Honeywell common stock available for future grants at December 31, 2015 . Additionally, the 2006 Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors of Honeywell International Inc. ( 2006 Di rectors Plan) expires on April 24, 2016 and it is expected that no future grants will be made under the 2006 Directors Plan prior to expiration . In 2016, t he Company is seeking shareowner approval of a new employee stock plan and non-employee director plan and, upon approval, no additional grants will be permitted under the 2011 Plan or the 2006 Directors Plan. Stock Options — The exercise price, term and other conditions a pplicable to each option granted under our stock plans are generally determined by the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board. The exercise price of stock options is set on the grant date and may not be less than the fair market val ue per share of our stock on that date. The fair value is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the award). Options generally vest over a four-year period and expire after ten years. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Expected volatility is based on implied volatilities from traded options on our common stock and historical volatility of our common stock. We used a Monte Carlo simulation model to derive an expected term which represents an estimate of the time options are expected to remain outstanding. Such model uses historical data to estimate option exercise activity and post-vest termination behavior. The risk -free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. Compensation cost on a pre-tax basis related to stock options recognized in selling, general and administrative expen ses in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $ 78 million, $ 85 million and $ 70 million. The associated future income tax benefit recognized in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $ 26 million, $ 31 million and $ 24 million. The following table sets forth fair value per share information, including related weighted-average assumptions, used to determine compensation cost: Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Weighted average fair value per share of options granted during the year (1) $ 17.21 $ 16.35 $ 11.85 Assumptions: Expected annual dividend yield 1.98 % 2.05 % 2.55 % Expected volatility 21.55 % 23.06 % 24.73 % Risk-free rate of return 1.61 % 1.48 % 0.91 % Expected option term (years) 5.0 5.0 5.5 (1) Estimated on date of grant using Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

At December 31, 2015 there was $ 140 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 . 36 years. The total fair value of options vested during 2015 , 2014 and 2013 was $ 73 million , $ 72 million and $ 67 million . Restricted Stock Units —Restricted stock unit (RSU) awards entitle the holder to receive one share of common stock for each unit when the units vest. RSUs are issued to certain key employees and directors at fair market value at the date of grant as compensation. RSUs typically become fully vested over periods ranging from three to seven years and are payable in Honeywell common stock upon vesting.

Commitments and Contingencies Environmental Matters We are subject to various federal, state, local and foreign government requirements relating to the protection of the environment. We believe that, as a general matter, our policies, practices and procedures are properly designed to prevent unreasonable risk of environmental damage and personal injury and that our handling, manufacture, use and disposal of hazardous substances are in accordance with environmental and safety laws and re gulations. However, mainly because of past operations and operations of predecessor companies, we, like other companies engaged in similar businesses, have incurred remedial response and voluntary cleanup costs for site contamination and are a party to law suits and claims associated with environmental and safety matters, including past production of products containing hazardous substances. Additional lawsuits, claims and costs involving environmental matters are likely to continue to arise in the future. With respect to environmental matters involving site contamination, we continually conduct studies, individually or jointly with other potentially responsible parties, to determine the feasibility of various remedial techniques. It is our policy to record appropriate liabilities for environmental matters when remedial efforts or damage claim payments are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are based on our best estimate of the undiscounted future costs required to complete t he remedial work. The recorded liabilities are adjusted periodically as remediation efforts progress or as additional technical, regulatory or legal information becomes available. Given the uncertainties regarding the status of laws, regulations, enforceme nt policies, the impact of other potentially responsible parties, technology and information related to individual sites, we do not believe it is possible to develop an estimate of the range of reasonably possible environmental loss in excess of our record ed liabilities. We expect to fund expenditures for these matters from operating cash flow. The timing of cash expenditures depends on a number of factors, including the timing of remedial investigations and feasibility studies, the timing of litigation and settlements of remediation liability, personal injury and property damage claims, regulatory approval of cleanup projects, remedial techniques to be utilized and agreements with other parties. The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded liabilities for environmental costs: Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Beginning of year $ 591 $ 643 $ 654 Accruals for environmental matters deemed probable and reasonably estimable 194 268 272 Environmental liability payments (273) (321) (304) Other 6 1 21 End of year $ 518 $ 591 $ 643 Environmental liabilities are included in the following balance sheet accounts: December 31, 2015 2014 Accrued liabilities $ 253 $ 278 Other liabilities 265 313 $ 518 $ 591 We do not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of environmental liabilities to be recorded upon future completion of studies, litigation or settlements, and neither the timing nor the amount of the ultimate costs associated with environmental matters can be determined although they could be material to our consolidated results of operations and operating cash flows in the periods recognized or paid. However, considering our past experience and existing reserves, we do not expect that environmental matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Onondaga Lake, Syracuse, NY —We are implementing a combined dredging/capping remedy of Onondaga Lake pursuant to a consent decree approved by the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York in January 2007. We have accrued for our estimated cost of remediating Onondaga Lake based on currently available information and analysis performed by our engineering consultants. H oneywell is also conducting remedial investigations and activities at other sites in Syracuse . We have recorded reserves for these investigations and activities where appropriate, consistent with the accounting policy described above. Honeywell has entered into a cooperative agreement with potential natural resource trustees to assess alleged natural resource damages relating to this site. It is not possible to predict the outcome or duration of this assessment, or the amounts of, or responsibility for, any damages. Asbestos Matters Honeywell is a defendant in asbestos related personal injury actions related to two predecessor companies : North American Refractories Company (NARCO) , which was sold in 1986 , produced refractory products (bricks and cement used in high temperature applications). Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing refractory products in an occupational setting. Bendix F riction M aterials (Bendix) business , which was sold in 2014, manufacture d automotive brake parts that contained chrysotile asbestos in an encapsulated form. Claimants consist largely of individuals who allege exposure to asbestos from brakes from either performing or being in the vicinity of individuals who performed brake rep lacements. The following tables summarize information concerning NARCO and Bendix asbestos related balances: Asbestos Related Liabilities Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Bendix NARCO Total Bendix NARCO Total Bendix NARCO Total Beginning of year $ 623 $ 929 $ 1,552 $ 656 $ 955 $ 1,611 $ 653 $ 1,119 $ 1,772 Accrual for update to estimated liability 180 8 188 195 4 199 180 5 185 Change in estimated cost of future claims 11 - 11 (1) - (1) 16 - 16 Update of expected resolution values for pending claims 1 - 1 2 - 2 (5) - (5) Asbestos related liability payments (193) (16) (209) (229) (30) (259) (188) (169) (357) End of year $ 622 $ 921 $ 1,543 $ 623 $ 929 $ 1,552 $ 656 $ 955 $ 1,611 Insurance Recoveries for Asbestos Related Liabilities Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Bendix NARCO Total Bendix NARCO Total Bendix NARCO Total Beginning of year $ 135 $ 350 $ 485 $ 141 $ 531 $ 672 $ 138 $ 569 $ 707 Probable insurance recoveries related to estimated liability 21 - 21 24 - 24 27 - 27 Insurance receipts for asbestos related liabilities (33) (30) (63) (24) (187) (211) (24) (34) (58) Insurance receivables settlements and write offs 1 6 7 (6) 7 1 - (6) (6) Other - (1) (1) - (1) (1) - 2 2 End of year $ 124 $ 325 $ 449 $ 135 $ 350 $ 485 $ 141 $ 531 $ 672 NARCO and Bendix asbestos related balances are included in the following balance sheet accounts: December 31, 2015 2014 Other current assets $ 23 $ 31 Insurance recoveries for asbestos related liabilities 426 454 $ 449 $ 485 Accrued liabilities $ 292 $ 352 Asbestos related liabilities 1,251 1,200 $ 1,543 $ 1,552 NARCO Products –In connection with NARCO’s emergence from bankruptcy on April 30, 2013, a federally authorized 524(g) trust (NARCO Trust) was established for the evaluation and resolution of all existing and future NARCO asbestos claims. Both Honeywell and NARCO are protected by a permanent channeling injunction barring all present and future individual actions in state or federal courts and requiring all asbestos related claims based on exposure to NARCO asbestos-containing products to be made against t he NARCO Trust. The NARCO Trust reviews submitted claims and determines award amounts in accordance with established Trust Distribution Procedures approved by the Bankruptcy Court which set forth the criteria claimants must meet to qualify for compensation including, among other things, exposure and medical criteria that determine the award amount. In addition, Honeywell provided, and continues to provide, input to the design of control procedures for processing NARCO claims, and has on-going audit rights t o review and monitor the claims processors’ adherence to the established requirements of the Trust Distribution Procedures. Honeywell is obligated to fund NARCO asbestos claims submitted to the NARCO Trust which qualify for payment under the Trust Distribu tion Procedures (Annual Contribution Claims), subject to annual caps of $ 140 million in the years 2016 through 2018 and $ 145 million for each year thereafter. However, the initial $ 100 million of claims processed through the NARCO Trust (the Initial Claims Amount) will not count against the annual cap and any unused portion of the Initial Claims Amount will roll over to subsequent years until fully utilized. In 2015, Honeywell filed suit against the NARCO Trust in Bankruptcy Court alleging breach of certain provisions of the Trust Agreement and Trust Distribution Procedures. The proceeding is ongoing. As of December 31, 2015 , Honeywell has not made any payments to the NARCO Trust for Annual Contribution Claims. Honeywell is also responsible for payments due to claimants pursuant to settlement agreements reached during the pendency of the NARCO bankruptcy proceedings that provide for the right to submit claims to the NARCO Trust subject to qualification under the terms of the settlement agreements and Tru st Distribution Procedures criteria (Pre-established Unliquidated Claims), which amounts are estimated at $ 150 million and are expected to be paid during the initial years of trust operations ( $ 5 million of which has been paid since the effective date of t he NARCO Trust). Such payments are not subject to the annual cap described above. Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for pre-established unliquidated claims ($ 145 million), unsettled claims pending as of the time NARCO filed for bankruptcy protection ($ 33 million) and for the estimated value of future NARCO asbestos claims expected to be asserted against the NARCO Trust through 2018 ($743 million). In the absence of actual trust experience on which to base the estimate, Honeywell projected the probable value of asbestos related future liabilities, including trust claim handling costs, based on a commonly accepted methodology used by numerous bankruptcy courts addressing 524(g) trusts. Some critical assumptions underlying this methodology include claims filing rates, disease criteria and payment values contained in the Trust Distribution Procedures, estimated approval rates of claims submitted to the NARCO Trust and epidemiological studies estimating disease instances. Thi s projection resulted in a range of estimated liability of $ 743 million to $ 961 million. We believe that no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other amount and accordingly, we have recorded the minimum amount in the range. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections and in connection with the recent implementation of the Trust Distribution Procedures by the NARCO Trust, as well as the stay of all NARCO asbestos claims which remained in place throughout NARCO’s Chapter 11 case, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating NARCO asbestos claims beyond 2018. Our insurance receivable corresponding to the estimated liability for pending and future NARCO asbestos claims reflects coverage which rei mburses Honeywell for portions of NARCO-related indemnity and defense costs and is provided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. We conduct anal yses to estimate the probable amount of insurance that is recoverable for asbestos claims. While the substantial majority of our insurance carriers are solvent, some of our individual carriers are insolvent, which has been considered in our analysis of pro bable recoveries. We made judgments concerning insurance coverage that we believe are reasonable and consistent with our historical dealings and our knowledge of any pertinent solvency issues surrounding insurers. Projecting future events is subject to man y uncertainties that could cause the NARCO-related asbestos liabilities or assets to be higher or lower than those projected and recorded. Given the uncertainties, we review our estimates periodically, and update them based on our experience and other rele vant factors. Similarly, we will reevaluate our projections concerning our probable insurance recoveries in light of any changes to the projected liability or other developments that may impact insurance recoveries. Friction Products — The following tables p resent information regarding Bendix related asbestos claims activity : Years Ended December 31, Claims Activity 2015 2014 Claims Unresolved at the beginning of year 9,267 12,302 Claims Filed 2,862 3,694 Claims Resolved (1) (4,350) (6,729) Claims Unresolved at the end of year 7,779 9,267 (1) Claims resolved in 2014 include 2,110 cancer claims which were determined to have no value. Also, claims resolved in 2015 and 2014 include significantly aged (i.e., pending for more than six years) claims totaling 153 and 1,266. December 31, Disease Distribution of Unresolved Claims 2015 2014 Mesothelioma and Other Cancer Claims 3,772 3,933 Nonmalignant Claims 4,007 5,334 Total Claims 7,779 9,267 Honeywell has experienced average resolution values per claim excluding legal costs as follows: Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 2012 2011 (in whole dollars) Malignant claims $ 44,000 $ 53,500 $ 51,000 $ 49,000 $ 48,000 Nonmalignant claims $ 100 $ 120 $ 850 $ 1,400 $ 1,000 It is not possible to predict whether resolution values for Bendix -related asbestos claims will increase, decrease or stabilize in the future. Our consolidated financial statements reflect an estimated liability for resolution of pending (claims actually filed as of the financial statement date) and future Bendix -related asbestos claims. We have valued Bendix pending and future claims using average resolution values for the previous five years. We update the resolution values used to estimate the cost of Bendix pending and future claims during the fourth quarter each year. The liability for future claims represents the estimated value of future asbestos related bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against Bendix over the next five years. Such estim ated cost of future Bendix -related asbestos claims is based on historic claims filing experience and dismissal rates, disease classifications, and resolution values in the tort system for the previous five years. In light of the uncertainties inherent in making long-term projections, as well as certain factors unique to friction product asbestos claims, we do not believe that we have a reasonable basis for estimating asbestos claims beyond the next five years. The methodology used to estimate the liability for future claims is similar to that used to estimate the liability for future NARCO-related asbestos claims. Our insurance receivable corresponding to the liability for settlement of pending and future Bendix asbestos claims reflects coverage which is pr ovided by a large number of insurance policies written by dozens of insurance companies in both the domestic insurance market and the London excess market. Based on our ongoing analysis of the probable insurance recovery, insurance receivables are recorded in the financial statements simultaneous with the recording of the estimated liability for the underlying asbestos claims. This determination is based on our analysis of the underlying insurance policies, our historical experience with our insurers, our ongoing review of the solvency of our insurers, judicial determinations relevant to our insurance programs, and our consideration of the impacts of any settlements reached with our insurers. Honeywell believes it has sufficient insurance coverage and res erves to cover all pending Bendix -related asbestos claims and Bendix -related asbestos claims estimated to be filed within the next five years. Although it is impossible to predict the outcome of either pending or future Bendix -related asbestos claims, we d o not believe that such claims would have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position in light of our insurance coverage and our prior experience in resolving such claims. If the rate and types of claims filed, the average resolution v alue of such claims and the period of time over which claim settlements are paid (collectively, the Variable Claims Factors) do not substantially change, Honeywell would not expect future Bendix -related asbestos claims to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in any fiscal year. No assurances can be given, however, that the Variable Claims Factors will not change . Other Matters We are subject to a number of other lawsuits, investigations and disputes (some of wh ich involve substantial amounts claimed) arising out of the conduct of our business, including matters relating to commercial transactions, government contracts, product liability, prior acquisitions and divestitures, employee benefit plans, intellectual p roperty, and environmental, health and safety matters. We recognize a liability for any contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. We continually assess the likelihood of adverse judgments of outcomes in these matters, as well as potential ranges of possible losses (taking into consideration any insurance recoveries), based on a careful analysis of each matter with the assistance of outside legal counsel and, if applicable, other experts. Included in these other matters are the fol lowing: Honeywell v. United Auto Workers (UAW) et. al — In July 2011, Honeywell filed an action in federal court (District of New Jersey) against the UAW and all former employees who retired under a series of Master Collective Bargaining Agreements (MCBAs) between Honeywell and the UAW seeking a declaratory judgment that certain express limitations on its obligation to contribute toward the healthcare coverage of such retirees (the CAPS) set forth in the MCBAs may be implemented, effective January 1, 2012. The UAW and certain retiree defendants filed a mirror suit in the Eastern District of Michigan alleging that the MCBAs do not provide for CAPS on the Company’s liability for healthcare coverage. The New Jersey action was dismissed and Honeywell subsequent ly answered the UAW’s complaint in Michigan and asserted counterclaims for fraudulent inducement, negligent misrepresentation and breach of implied warranty. The UAW filed a motion to dismiss these counterclaims. The court dismissed Honeywell’s fraudulen t inducement and negligent misrepresentation claims, but let stand the claim for breach of implied warranty. In the second quarter of 2014, t he parties agreed to stay the proceedings with respect to those retirees who retired before the initial inclusions of the CAPS in the 2003 MCBA until the Supreme Court decided the M&G Polymers USA, LLC v. Tackett case . In a ruling on January 26, 2015, the Supreme Court held that retiree health insurance benefits provided in collective bargaining agreements do not carry an inference that they are vest ed or guaranteed to continue for life and that the “vesting” issue must be decided pursuant to ordinary principles of contract law. The stay of the proceedings has been lifted and the case is again proceeding in the normal course. Based on the Supreme Court’s ruling, Honeywell is confident that the CAPS will be upheld and that its l iability for healthcare coverage premiums with respect to the putative class will be limited as negotiated and expressly set forth in the applicable MCBAs. In the event of an adverse ruling, however, Honeywell’s other postretirement benefits for pre-2003 retirees would increase by approximately $ 1 76 million, reflecting the estimated value of these CAPS. In December 2013, the UAW and certain of the plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment with respect to those retirees who retired after the initial inclusion of the CAPS in the 2003 MCBA. The UAW sought a ruling that the 2003 MCBA did not limit Honeywell’s obligation to contribute to healthcare coverage for the post-2003 retirees. That motion remains pending. Honeywell is confident that the C ourt will find that the 2003 MCBA does, in fact, limit Honeywell’s retiree healthcare obligation for post-2003 retirees. In the event of an adverse ruling, however, Honeywell’s other postretirement benefits for post-2003 retirees would increase by approxim ately $ 1 10 million, reflecting the estimated value of these CAPS. Joint Strike Fighter Investigation - In 2013 the Company received subpoenas from the Department of Justice requesting information relating primarily to parts manufactured in the United Kingd om and China used in the F-35 fighter jet. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation. While we believe that Honeywell has complied with all relevant U.S. laws and regulations regarding the manufacture of the se sensors, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation or what action, if any, may result from it . Given the uncertainty inherent in litigation and investigations (including the specific matters referenced above), we do not believe it is possible to develop estimates of reasonably possible loss in excess of current accruals for these matters (other than as specifically set forth above). Considering our past experience and existing accruals, we do not expect the outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggr egate, to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position. Because most contingencies are resolved over long periods of time, potential liabilities are subject to change due to new developments, changes in settlement strategy or the i mpact of evidentiary requirements, which could cause us to pay damage awards or settlements (or become subject to equitable remedies) that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or operating cash flows in the periods recognized o r paid. Warranties and Guarantees In the normal course of business we issue product warranties and product performance guarantees. We accrue for the estimated cost of product warranties and performance guarantees based on contract terms and historical experience at the time of sale. Adjustments to initial obligations for warranties and guarantees are made as changes in the obligations become reasonably estimable. The following table summarizes information concerning our recorded obligations for product warranties and product performan ce guarantees: Years Ended December 31, 2015 2014 2013 Beginning of year $ 403 $ 405 $ 407 Accruals for warranties/guarantees issued during the year 206 225 212 Adjustment of pre-existing warranties/guarantees 13 (34) (1) Settlement of warranty/guarantee claims (206) (193) (213) End of year $ 416 $ 403 $ 405 Product warranties and product performance guarantees are included in the following balance sheet accounts: December 31, 2015 2014 Accrued liabilities $ 355 $ 332 Other liabilities 61 71 $ 416 $ 403

PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMEN

Pension and Other Post Retirements Disclosure Paragraph Details [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	Note 20 . Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits We sponsor both funded and unfunded U.S. and non-U.S . defined benefit pension plans covering the majority of our employees and retirees . Pension benefits for substantially all U.S. employees are provided through non-contributory, qualified and non-qualified defined benefit plans. All non-union hourly and salaried employees joining Honeywell for the first time after December 31, 2012, are not eligible to participate in Honeywell’ s U.S. defined benefit pension plans. We also sponsor defined benefit pension plans which cover non-U.S. employees who are not U.S. citizens, in certain jurisdictions, principally the UK, Netherlands, Germany, and Canada. Other pension plans outside of th e U.S. are not material to the Company either individually or in the aggregate. We also sponsor postretirement benefit plans that provide health care benefits and life insurance coverage mainly to U.S. eligible retirees. L ess than 1% of Honeywell ’s U.S. employees are eligible for a retiree medical subsidy from the Company; and this subsidy is limited to a fixed-dollar amount . In addition, more than 80 % of Honeywell’s current retirees either have no Company subsidy or have a fixed-dollar subsidy amount . This significantly limits our exposure to the impact of future health care cost increases. The retiree medical and life insurance plans are not funded. Claims and expenses are paid from our operating cash flow. The following tables summarize the balance sheet impact, including the benefit obligations, assets and funded status associated with our significant pension and other postretirement benefit plans .

Pension Benefits U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2013 2015 2014 2013 Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31: Discount rate 4.46 % 4.08 % 4.89 % 3.49 % 3.26 % 4.29 % Expected annual rate of compensation increase 4.48 % 4.50 % 4.50 % 2.11 % 2.53 % 2.81 % Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit (income) cost for years ended December 31: Discount rate 4.08 % 4.89 % 4.06 % 3.26 % 4.29 % 4.29 % Expected rate of return on plan assets 7.75 % 7.75 % 7.75 % 6.94 % 6.96 % 6.99 % Expected annual rate of compensation increase 4.50 % 4.50 % 4.50 % 2.53 % 2.81 % 3.55 % Other Postretirement Benefits 2015 2014 2013 Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations as of December 31: Discount rate 3.80 % 3.45 % 4.05 % Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 31: Discount rate 3.45 % 4.05 % 3.40 % The discount rate for our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefits plans reflects the current rate at which the associated liabilities could be settled at the measurement date of December 31. To determine discount rates for our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we use a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of our benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments. We use the single weighted-av erage yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark. The discount rate used to determine the other postretirement benefit obligation is lower principally due to a shorter expected duration of other postretirement plan obligations as com pared to pension plan obligations. During the fourth quarter of 2015 we changed the methodology used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for our significant pension plans. Previously, we estimated suc h cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the pension benefit obligation . The new methodology utilizes a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these cost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows and provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between p rojected cash flows and their corresponding spot rates. The change does not affect the measurement of our pension obligation and is applied prospectively as a change in estimate. For our U.S. pension plans, the single weighted-average spot rates used t o determine service and interest costs for 2016 are 4 . 69 % and 3 . 59 % . We estimate the service and interest cost s for our U.S. pension plans will be reduced by approximately $ 150 million in 2016. Our expected rate of return on U.S. plan assets of 7.75% is a long-term rate based on historical plan asset returns over varying long-term periods combined with current market conditions and b road asset mix considerations. We review the expected rate of return on an annual basis and revise it as appropriate. For n on-U.S. benefit plans actuarial assumptions reflect economic and market factors relevant to each country. The impact of the discount rate methodology change on service and interest costs for our non-U.S. pension plans was not material. Pension Benefits Inc luded in the aggregate data in the tables above are the amounts applicable to our pension plans with accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets. Amounts related to such plans were as follows: December 31, U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2015 2014 2015 2014 Projected benefit obligation $17,298 $626 $1,624 $1,686 Accumulated benefit obligation $16,899 $618 $1,574 $1,584 Fair value of plan assets $16,349 $194 $976 $994 Accumulated benefit obligation for our U.S. defined benefit pension plans were $ 16.9 billion and $ 17.2 billion and for our Non-U.S. defined benefit plans were $ 6.2 billion and $ 5.5 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014 . Our asset investment strategy for our U.S. pension plans focuses on maintaining a diversified portfolio using various asset classes in order to achieve our long-term investment objectives on a risk adjusted basis. Our actual invested positions in various securities change over time based on short and longer-term investment opportunities. To achieve our objectives, we have established long-term target allocations as follows: 60 % - 70 % equity securities, 10 % - 20 % fixed income securities and cash, 5 % - 15 % real estate investments, and 10 % - 20 % other types o f investments. Equity securities include publicly-traded stock of companies located both inside and outside the United States . Fixed income securities include corporate bonds of companies from diversified industries, mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. Treasuries. Real estate investments include direct investments in commercial properties and investments in real estate funds. Other types of investments include investments in private equity and hedge funds that follow several different strategies. We re view our assets on a regular basis to ensure that we are within the targeted asset allocation ranges and, if necessary, asset balances are adjusted back within target allocations. Our non-U.S. pension assets are typically managed by decentralized fiduciar y committees with the Honeywell Corporate Investments group providing standard funding and investment guidance. O ur non-U.S. investment policies are different for each country as l ocal regulations, funding rules, and financial and tax considerations are pa rt of the funding and investment allocation process in each country. The fair values of both our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans assets by asset category are as follows: U.S. Plans December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock/preferred stock: Honeywell common stock $ 1,916 $ 1,916 - - U.S. large cap stocks 3,761 3,761 - - U.S. mid cap stocks 722 722 - - U.S. small cap stocks 89 89 - - International stocks 2,099 1,943 156 - Real estate investment trusts 209 209 - - Fixed income investments: Short term investments 1,332 1,332 - - Government securities 425 - 425 - Corporate bonds 3,003 - 3,003 - Mortgage/Asset-backed securities 561 - 561 - Insurance contracts 7 - 7 - Investments in private funds: Private funds 889 - - 889 Hedge funds 19 - - 19 Real estate funds 156 - - 156 Direct investments: Direct private investments 535 - - 535 Real estate properties 626 - - 626 $ 16,349 $ 9,972 $ 4,152 $ 2,225 U.S. Plans December 31, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock/preferred stock: Honeywell common stock $ 1,851 $ 1,851 $ - $ - U.S. large cap stocks 3,913 3,867 46 - U.S. mid cap stocks 1,028 1,018 10 - U.S. small cap stocks 219 219 - - International stocks 2,576 2,400 176 - Real estate investment trusts 204 204 - - Fixed income investments: Short term investments 1,078 1,078 - - Government securities 438 - 438 - Corporate bonds 2,988 - 2,988 - Mortgage/Asset-backed securities 635 - 635 - Insurance contracts 7 - 7 - Investments in private funds: Private funds 999 - - 999 Hedge funds 3 - - 3 Real estate funds 226 - - 226 Direct investments: Direct private investments 301 - - 301 Real estate properties 600 - - 600 $ 17,066 $ 10,637 $ 4,300 $ 2,129 Non-U.S. Plans December 31, 2015 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock/preferred stock: U.S. companies $ 569 $ 479 90 - Non-U.S. companies 2,200 228 1,972 - Fixed income investments: Short-term investments 108 105 3 - Government securities 1,621 - 1,621 - Corporate bonds 1,073 - 1,073 - Mortgage/Asset-backed securities 94 - 94 - Insurance contracts 170 - 170 - Investments in private funds: Private funds 61 - - 61 Hedge funds - - - - Real estate funds 221 - - 221 $ 6,117 $ 812 $ 5,023 $ 282 Non-U.S. Plans December 31, 2014 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Common stock/preferred stock: U.S. companies $ 534 $ 464 $ 70 $ - Non-U.S. companies 1,876 225 1,651 - Fixed income investments: Short-term investments 117 113 4 - Government securities 1,495 - 1,495 - Corporate bonds 857 - 857 - Mortgage/Asset-backed securities 19 - 19 - Insurance contracts 186 - 186 - Investments in private funds: Private funds 62 - - 62 Hedge funds 2 - - 2 Real estate funds 185 - - 185 $ 5,333 $ 802 $ 4,282 $ 249 The following tables summarize changes in the fair value of Level 3 assets: U.S. Plans Direct Private Private Hedge Real Estate Real Estate Funds Investments Funds Funds Properties Balance at December 31, 2013 $ 1,058 278 6 237 627 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets still held at year-end (50) (10) (2) 21 10 Relating to assets sold during the year 94 59 2 - 53 Purchases 168 92 3 8 38 Sales and settlements (271) (118) (6) (40) (128) Balance at December 31, 2014 999 301 3 226 600 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets still held at year-end (87) 47 (2) (20) 16 Relating to assets sold during the year 85 21 - 4 14 Purchases 142 242 19 5 16 Sales and settlements (250) (76) (1) (59) (20) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 889 $ 535 $ 19 $ 156 $ 626 Non-U.S. Plans Private Hedge Real Estate Funds Funds Funds Balance at December 31, 2013 $ 67 62 181 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets still held at year-end (4) (11) 17 Relating to assets sold during the year 6 12 1 Purchases - - 4 Sales and settlements (7) (61) (18) Balance at December 31, 2014 62 2 185 Actual return on plan assets: Relating to assets still held at year-end (7) - 24 Relating to assets sold during the year 7 - (3) Purchases 11 - 41 Sales and settlements (12) (2) (26) Balance at December 31, 2015 $ 61 $ - $ 221 The Company enters into futures contracts to gain exposure to certain markets. Sufficient cash or cash equivalents are held by our pension plans to cover the notional value of the futures contracts. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 , our U.S. plans had contracts with notional amounts of $ 2,613 million and $ 2 ,354 million. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 , our non-U.S. plans had contracts with notional amounts of $ 54 million and $ 65 million. In both our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans , the notional derivative exposure is primarily related to outstanding equity futures contracts. Common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts, and short-term investments are valued at the closing price reported in the active market in wh ich the individual securities are traded. Corporate bonds, mortgages, asset-backed securities, and government securities are valued either by using pricing models, bids provided by brokers or dealers, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristic s or discounted cash flows and as such include adjustments for certain risks that may not be observable such as credit and liquidity risks. Certain securities are held in commingled funds which are valued using net asset values provided by the administrato rs of the funds. Investments in private equity, debt, real estate and hedge funds and direct private investments are valued at estimated fair value based on quarterly financial information received from the investment advisor and/or general partner. Invest ments in real estate properties are valued on a quarterly basis using the income approach. Valuation estimates are periodically supplemented by third party appraisals. Our general funding policy for qualified defined benefit pension plans is to contribut e amounts at least sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards. In 201 5 , 2014 and 2013 , we were not required to make contributions to our U.S. pension plans and no contributions were made . We are not required to make any contributions to our U.S. pension plans in 2016 . In 2015, contributions of $ 139 million were made to our non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding requirements. In 2016 , we expect to make contributions of cash and/or marketable securities of approximately $ 160 million to our non-U.S. pension plans to satisfy regulatory funding standards. Contributions for both our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans do not reflect benefits paid directly from Company assets. Benefit payments, including amounts to be paid from Compa ny assets, and reflecting expected future service, as appropriate, are expected to be paid as follows: U.S. Plans Non-U.S. Plans 2016 $ 1,151 $ 243 2017 1,125 252 2018 1,138 258 2019 1,153 265 2020 1,166 272 2021-2025 5,922 1,474 Other Postretirement Benefits December 31, 2015 2014 Assumed health care cost trend rate: Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year 7.00 % 7.00 % Rate that the cost trend rate gradually declines to 5.00 % 5.00 % Year that the rate reaches the rate it is assumed to remain at 2023 2023 The assumed health care cost trend rate has a significant effect on the amounts reported.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN31

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2015
Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Principles	Accounting Principles —The financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America . The following is a description of Honeywell’s significant accounting policies.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation —The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Honeywell International Inc. and all of its subsidiaries and entities in which a controlling interest is m aintained. Our consolidation policy requires equity investments that we exercise significant influence over but do not control the investee and are not the primary beneficiary of the investee’s activities to be accounted for using the equity method. Inves tments through which we are not able to exercise significant influence over the investee and which we do not have readily determinable fair values are accounted for under the cost method. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consol idation. Redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered to be temporary equity and is therefore reported outside of pe rmanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the greater of the initial carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest' s share of net income (loss) or its redemption value.
Property, Plant and Equipment	Property, Plant and Equipment —Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, including any asset retirement obligations, less accumulated depreciation. For financial reporting, the straight-line me thod of depreciation is used over the estimated useful lives of 10 to 50 years for buildings and improvements and 2 to 16 years for machinery and equipment. Recognition of the fair value of obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets is required when there is a legal obligation to incur such costs. Upon initial recognition of a liability, the cost is capitalized as part of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the corresponding asset’s useful life.
Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Indef inite-Lived Intangible Assets —Goodwill and indefinite - lived intangible assets are subject to impairment testing annually as of March 31, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable. This tes ting compares carrying values to fair values and, when appropriate, the carrying value of these assets is reduced to fair value. We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of March 31, 2015 and determined that there was no impairm ent as of that date.
Other Intangible Assets with Determinable Lives	Other Intangible Assets with Determinable Lives —Other intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer lists, technology, patents and trademarks and other intangibles and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 2 t o 24 years.
Sales Recognition	Sales Recognition —Product and service sales are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, product delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, pricing is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Service sales, principally representing repair, maintenance an d engineering activities are recognized over the contractual period or as services are rendered. Sales under long- term contracts are reco rded on a percentage-of-completion method measured on the cost-to-cost basis for engineering-type contracts and the units-of-delivery basis for production-type contracts. Provisions for anticipated losses on long-term contracts are recorded in full when su ch losses become evident. Revenues from contracts with multiple element arrangements are recognized as each element is earned based on the relative fair value of each element provided the delivered elements have value to customers on a standalone basis. Am ounts allocated to each element are based on its objectively determined fair value, such as the sales price for the product or service when it is sold separately or competitor prices for similar products or services.
Environmental	Environmental — We accrue costs related t o environmental matters when it is probable that we have incurred a liability related to a contaminated site and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For additional information, see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies .
Asbestos Related Contingencies and Insurance Recoveries	Asbestos Related Contingencie s and Insurance Recoveries —We recognize a liability for any asbestos related contingency that is probable of occurrence and reasonably estimable. In connection with the recognition of liabilities for asbestos related matters, we record asbestos related ins urance recoveries that are deemed probable. For additional information, see Note 19 Commitments and Contingencies .
Aerospace Sales Incentives	Aerospace Sales Incentives —We provide sales incentives to commercial aircraft manufacturers and airlines in connection with their selectio n of our aircraft equipment, predominately wheel and braking system hardware , avionics, and auxiliary power units, for installation on commercial aircraf t. These incentives consist of free or deeply discounted products, credits for future purchases of prod uct and upfront cash payments . T hese costs are recognized in the period incurred as cost of products sold or as a reduction to sales, as appropriate.
Research and Development	Research and Development —Research and development costs for company-sponsored research and development projects are expensed as incurred. Such cos ts are principally included in cost of p roducts s old and were $ 1,856 million , $ 1,892 million and $ 1,804 million in 2015 , 2014 and 2013 .
Stock-Based Compensation Plans	Stock-Based Compensation Plans —The principal awards issued under our stock-based compensation plans, which are described in Note 18 Stock-Based Compensation Plans, are non-qualified stock options a nd restricted stock units . T he cost for such awards is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods (generally the vesting period of the equity award) and is included in selling, general and administrative expense s . Forfeitures are estimated at the time o f grant to recognize expense for those award s that are expected to vest and are based on our historical forfeiture rates .
Pension Benefits	Pension Benefits — We recognize net actuarial gains or losses in excess of 10 % of t he greater of the fair value of plan assets or the plans’ projected benefit obligation (the corridor) annually in the fourth quarter each year (MTM Adjustment) , and, if applicable, in any quarter in which an interim remeasurement is triggered . The remaining components of pension (income) expense, primarily service and interest costs and assumed return on plan assets, are recognized on a quarterly basis ( Pension ongoing (income) expens e ).
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation —Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. D ollars are translated into U.S. D ollars using year-end exchange rates. Sales, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the year. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are included as a component of ac cumulated other comprehensive i ncome ( l os s). For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary environments, inventories and property, plant and equipment, including related expenses, are remeasured at the exchange rate in effect on the date the assets were acquired, while monetary assets and lia bilities are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Remeasurement adjustments for these subsidiaries are included in earnings.
Derivative Financial Instruments	Derivative Financial Instruments —We minimize our risks from interest and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations through our normal operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes and we do not us e leveraged derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting must be designated and effective as a hedge of the identified risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair valu e of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. All derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities an d measured at fair value. For derivatives designated as hedges of the fair value of assets or liabilities, the changes in fair values of both the derivatives and the hedged items are recorded in current earnings. For derivatives designated as cash flow hed ges, the effective portion of the changes in fair value of t he derivatives are recorded in a ccumulated other c omprehensive i ncome ( l oss) and subsequently recognized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. Cash flows of such derivative financial instruments are classified consistent with the underlying hedged item.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes —Significant judgment is required in evaluating tax positions. We establish additional reserves for income taxes when, despite the belief that tax positions are fully suppor table, there remain certain positions that do not meet the minimum recognition threshold. The approach for evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions is defined by the authoritative guidance which determines when a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the applicable taxing authority. In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsid iaries are examined by various federal, s tate and foreign tax authorities. We regularly assess the potential outcomes of these examinations and any future examinations for the current or prior years in determining the adequacy of our provision for income taxes. We continually assess the likelihood and amount of potential adjustments and adjust the income tax provision, the current tax liability and deferred taxes in the period in which the facts that give rise to a change in estimate become known .
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share —Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per s hare is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding.
Reclassifications	Reclassifications —Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounti ng Pronouncements — We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). ASU s not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have minimal impact on our con solidated financial posit ion or results of operations. In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by permitting classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance on a prospective basis effective with the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. This is a change from the Company’s historical presentation whereby certai n deferred tax assets and liabilities were classified as current and the remainder were classified as non-current. Adoption of the guidance resulted in a reclassification of $ 662 million from current assets and $ 32 million from current liabilities withi n the consolidated balance sh eet as of December 31, 2015. In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance on revenue from contracts with customers that will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying pri nciple is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transacti ons to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized b efore contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The effective date was deferred for one year to the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted as of the original effective date – interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016. The guidance permits th e use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We have not yet selected a transition method and are currently evaluating the impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and related d isclosures.

Reclassifications [Line Items]
Description of reclassification	In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued guidance to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes by permitting classification of all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company has elected to early adopt the guidance on a prospective basis effective with the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015. This is a change from the Company’s historical presentation whereby certai n deferred tax assets and liabilities were classified as current and the remainder were classified as non-current. Adoption of the guidance resulted in a reclassification of $ 662 million from current assets and $ 32 million from current liabilities withi n the consolidated balance sh eet as of December 31, 2015.

Information request	In 2013 the Company received subpoenas from the Department of Justice requesting information relating primarily to parts manufactured in the United Kingdom and China used in the F-35 fighter jet. The Company is cooperating fully with the investigation. While we believe that Honeywell has complied with all relevant U.S. laws and regulations regarding the manufacture of these sensors, it is not possible to predict the outcome of the investigation or what action, if any, may result from it

Pension Benefits Paragraph Details [Abstract]
Explanation of significant changes in benefit obligations		Less than 1% of Honeywell’s U.S. employees are eligible for a retiree medical subsidy from the Company; and this subsidy is limited to a fixed-dollar amount. In addition, more than 80% of Honeywell’s current retirees either have no Company subsidy or have a fixed-dollar subsidy amount. This significantly limits our exposure to the impact of future health care cost increases.

Discount rate		3.80%	3.45%	4.05%
Defined Benefit Plan Assumptions Used Calculating Benefit Obligation Discount Rate Support Methodology And Source Data		To determine discount rates for our U.S. pension and other postretirement benefit plans, we use a modeling process that involves matching the expected cash outflows of our benefit plans to a yield curve constructed from a portfolio of high quality, fixed-income debt instruments. We use the single weighted-average yield of this hypothetical portfolio as a discount rate benchmark.

Defined Benefit Plan Assumptions Used Calculating Net Periodic Benefit Cost Discount Rate Support Methodology And Source Data		During the fourth quarter of 2015 we changed the methodology used to estimate the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit (income) cost for our significant pension plans. Previously, we estimated such cost components utilizing a single weighted-average discount rate derived from the yield curve used to measure the pension benefit obligation. The new methodology utilizes a full yield curve approach in the estimation of these cost components by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the pension benefit obligation to their underlying projected cash flows and provides a more precise measurement of service and interest costs by improving the correlation between projected cash flows and their corresponding spot rates. The change does not affect the measurement of our pension obligation and is applied prospectively as a change in estimate.
