Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	Note 1. Basis of Presentation In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year. We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of Honeywell International Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Honeywell or the Company) at June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 should not necessarily be taken as indicative of the entire year.

We report our quarterly financial information using a calendar convention; the first, second and third quarters are consistently reported as ending on March 31, June 30 and September 30. It has been our practice to establish actual quarterly closing dates using a predetermined fiscal calendar, which requires our businesses to close their books on a Saturday in order to minimize the potentially disruptive effects of quarterly closing on our business processes. The effects of this practice are generally not significant to reported results for any quarter and only exist within a reporting year. In the event that differences in actual closing dates are material to year-over-year comparisons of quarterly or year-to-date results, we will provide appropriate disclosures. Our actual closing dates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were July 1, 2017 and July 2, 2016.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
