Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Reclassifications— Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company expects to complete the sale of another of its ROW Integrated Solutions & Services businesses during the first half of fiscal 2016. The assets and liabilities of this business are classified as held for sale, and its results of operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value.



Buildings and related improvements	Up to 50 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life
Subscriber systems	Up to 14 years
Other machinery, equipment and furniture and fixtures	Up to 21 years

See below for discussion of depreciation method and estimated useful lives related to subscriber systems.

The estimated useful life of dealer intangibles ranges from 12 to 15 years. The Company amortizes dealer intangible assets on an accelerated basis.

Other Amortizable Intangible Assets, Net—Intangible assets primarily include contracts and related customer relationships (dealer accounts discussed above) and intellectual property.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments—Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur (see Note 8). In performing these assessments, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market transactions (to the extent available), other market data and the Company's overall market capitalization. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors which require judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The Company elected to make the first day of the fourth quarter the annual impairment assessment date for all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Asbestos-Related Contingencies and Insurance Receivables—The Company and certain of its subsidiaries along with numerous other companies are named as defendants in personal injury lawsuits based on alleged exposure to asbestos-containing materials. The Company's estimate of the liability and corresponding insurance recovery for pending and future claims and defense costs is based on the Company's historical claim experience, and estimates of the number and resolution cost of potential future claims that may be filed. The Company's legal strategy for resolving claims also impacts these estimates. The Company considers various trends and developments in evaluating the period of time (the look-back period) over which historical claim and settlement experience is used to estimate and value claims reasonably projected to be made in the future during a defined period of time (the look-forward period). On a periodic basis, the Company assesses the sufficiency of its estimated liability for pending and future claims and defense costs by evaluating actual experience regarding claims filed, settled and dismissed, and amounts paid in settlements. In addition to claims and settlement experience, the Company considers additional quantitative and qualitative factors such as changes in legislation, the legal environment, and the Company's defense strategy. The Company also evaluates the recoverability of its insurance receivable on a periodic basis. The Company evaluates all of these factors and determines whether a change in the estimate of its liability for pending and future claims and defense costs or insurance receivable is warranted.


•	Level 1—inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date.

•


•	Level 3—inputs for the valuations are unobservable and are based on management's estimates and assumptions that market participants would use similar inputs in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

All derivative financial instruments are reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Derivatives used to economically hedge foreign currency denominated balance sheet items related to operating activities are reported in Selling, general and administrative expenses along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged. Derivatives used to manage the exposure to changes in interest rates are reported in Interest expense along with offsetting transaction gains and losses on the items being hedged within the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are included in the cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss to the extent they are effective within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity. Gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholders' Equity and reclassified to earnings in a manner that matches the timing of the earnings impact of the hedged transactions. The Company classifies cash flows associated with the settlement of derivatives consistent with the nature of the transaction being hedged. The ineffective portion of all hedges, if any, is recognized currently in earnings. Instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked to market with changes recognized in current earnings. See Note 11.

Acquisitions	12 Months Ended
Acquisitions	Sep. 25, 2015
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Acquisitions During the year ended September 25, 2015, total consideration for acquisitions included in continuing operations was $588 million, which was comprised of $583 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired of $28 million and $5 million of contingent consideration, for 12 acquisitions. The largest individual acquisition was Industrial Safety Technologies International ("IST"), a global leader in gas and flame detection with operations in Europe, the Middle East, China, and the U.S., for total consideration paid of $327 million, net of $5 million of cash acquired. The purchase price for IST was allocated as follows: $67 million of assets, $137 million of goodwill, $143 million of intangible assets and the assumption of $15 million of liabilities. In addition, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, the Company acquired FootFall, a global retail intelligence company, from Experian, plc, for total consideration paid of $58 million, net of $2 million of cash acquired. IST is being integrated into the Global Products segment, and FootFall is being integrated into the NA Integrated Solutions & Services and ROW Integrated Solutions & Services segments. The balance of the acquisitions for the year ended September 25, 2015 were included in the Company's ROW Integrated Solutions & Services and Global Products segments, none of which were material individually or in the aggregate. The determination of fair value for certain assets and liabilities relating to the acquisitions made during the first nine months of fiscal 2015 has been finalized, with no material adjustment to the preliminary purchase price allocations. The final determination of fair value of certain assets and liabilities relating to the FootFall acquisition remains subject to change based on final valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The Company does not expect the finalization of this matter to have a material effect on the purchase price allocation, which is expected to be completed within fiscal 2016. During the year ended September 26, 2014, total consideration for acquisitions included in continuing operations was $66 million, which was comprised of $65 million of cash paid, net of cash acquired of $1 million, and $1 million of contingent consideration. This was primarily comprised of $53 million of cash paid, net of $1 million cash acquired, and $1 million of contingent consideration for the acquisition of Westfire, Inc. ("Westfire") on November 8, 2013. Westfire, a fire protection services company with operations in the United States, Chile and Peru, provides critical special-hazard suppression and detection applications in mining, telecommunications and other vertical markets and has been integrated with the NA Integrated Solutions & Services and ROW Integrated Solutions & Services segments. The balance of the acquisitions for the year ended September 26, 2014 were included in the Company's ROW Integrated Solutions & Services segment, none of which were material individually or in the aggregate. During the year ended September 26, 2014, the Company also paid $66 million in cash to purchase the remaining ownership interest of a joint venture in Brazil, which has been consolidated into the Company's ROW Integrated Solutions & Services segment. In connection with Tyco’s acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in this joint venture, the Company recorded an indemnification asset of approximately $11 million relating to the indemnification of Tyco for certain pre-acquisition tax liabilities, in accordance with the purchase agreement. During the year ended September 27, 2013, total consideration for acquisitions included in continuing operations was $257 million, which was comprised of $229 million cash paid, net of cash acquired of $9 million, and $28 million of consideration that was primarily contingent on the successful transfer of a business license in China to Tyco. The transfer of this license occurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, and the Company has made payments of approximately $23 million during the year ended September 25, 2015. Cash paid for acquisitions primarily related to the acquisition of Exacq Technologies ("Exacq") on July 26, 2013 by the Company's Global Products segment. Exacq is a developer of open architecture video management systems for security and surveillance applications. Cash paid for Exacq totaled approximately $148 million, net of cash acquired of $2 million. The balance of the acquisitions for the year ended September 27, 2013 were included within the Company's NA and ROW Integrated Solutions & Services segments, none of which were material individually or in the aggregate. Acquisition and Integration Related Costs Acquisition and integration costs are expensed as incurred. During the years ended September 25, 2015, September 26, 2014 and September 27, 2013, the Company incurred acquisition and integration costs of $5 million, $3 million and $4 million, respectively. Such costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Legacy Matters Related to Former Management

Environmental Matters

Tyco is involved in various stages of investigation and cleanup related to environmental remediation matters at a number of sites. The ultimate cost of site cleanup is difficult to predict given the uncertainties regarding the extent of the required cleanup, the interpretation of applicable laws and regulations and alternative cleanup methods. As of September 25, 2015, Tyco concluded that it was probable that it would incur remedial costs in the range of approximately $23 million to $72 million. As of September 25, 2015, Tyco concluded that the best estimate within this range is approximately $33 million, of which $11 million is included in Accrued and other current liabilities and $22 million is included in Other liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Asbestos Matters

As of September 25, 2015, the Company has determined that there were approximately 3,300 claims pending against its subsidiaries, primarily Grinnell. This amount reflects the Company's current estimate of the number of viable claims made against Grinnell and includes adjustments for claims that are not actively being prosecuted, identify incorrect defendants, are duplicative of other actions or for which the Company is indemnified by third parties. As a result of the conclusion of the Yarway bankruptcy, addressed separately below, Yarway Corporation is no longer a subsidiary of the Company and, as of August 2015, is no longer consolidated.

As a result of the activity described above, the Company recorded a net charge of $240 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the quarter ended September 26, 2014. Although the Company’s methodology established a range of estimates of reasonably possible outcomes, the Company recorded its best estimate within such range based upon currently known information. The Company's estimated gross asbestos liability of $538 million was recorded within the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as a liability for pending and future claims and related defense costs, and separately as an asset for insurance recoveries of $245 million. The aforementioned total estimated liability is on a pre-tax basis, not discounted for the time-value of money, and includes defense costs, which is consistent with the Company’s historical accounting practices.

Yarway

Tax Matters

Tyco and its subsidiaries' income tax returns are examined periodically by various tax authorities. In connection with these examinations, tax authorities, including the IRS, have raised issues and proposed tax adjustments, in particular with respect to years preceding the 2007 Separation. The issues and proposed adjustments related to such years are generally subject to the sharing provisions of a tax sharing agreement entered in 2007 with Medtronic and TE Connectivity (the "2007 Tax Sharing Agreement") under which Tyco, Medtronic and TE Connectivity share 27%, 42% and 31%, respectively, of shared income tax liabilities that arise from adjustments made by tax authorities to Tyco's, Medtronic's and TE Connectivity's U.S. and certain non-U.S. income tax returns. The costs and expenses associated with the management of these shared tax liabilities are generally shared equally among the parties. Tyco has previously disclosed that in connection with U.S. federal tax audits, the IRS has raised a number of issues and proposed tax adjustments for periods beginning with the 1997 tax year. Although Tyco has been able to resolve substantially all of the issues and adjustments proposed by the IRS for tax years through 2007, it has not been able to resolve matters related to the treatment of certain intercompany debt transactions during the period. As a result, on June 20, 2013, Tyco received Notices of Deficiency from the IRS asserting that several of Tyco's former U.S. subsidiaries owe additional taxes of $883.3 million plus penalties of $154 million based on audits of the 1997 through 2000 tax years of Tyco and its subsidiaries as they existed at that time. In addition, Tyco received Final Partnership Administrative Adjustments for certain U.S. partnerships owned by former U.S. subsidiaries with respect to which an additional tax deficiency of approximately $30 million was asserted. These amounts exclude interest and do not reflect the impact on subsequent periods if the IRS position described below is ultimately proved correct.

Share Options—Options are granted to purchase ordinary shares at prices that are equal to or greater than the closing market price of the ordinary shares on the date the option is granted. Conditions of vesting are determined at the time of grant. Options are generally exercisable in equal annual installments over a period of four years and will generally expire 10 years after the date of grant. Historically, the Company's practice has been to settle stock option exercises through either newly issued shares or from shares held in treasury.

The fair market value of restricted awards, both time vesting and those subject to specific performance criteria, are expensed over the period of vesting. Restricted stock units, which vest based solely upon passage of time generally vest over a period of four years. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's shares on the grant date. Performance share units, which are restricted share awards that vest dependent upon attainment of various levels of performance that equal or exceed targeted levels generally vest in their entirety at the end of a three year performance period. The number of shares that ultimately vest can vary from 0% to 200% of target depending on the level of achievement of the performance criteria. The fair value of performance share units is determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation model. The compensation expense recognized for all restricted share awards is net of estimated forfeitures.

A summary of the activity of the Company's restricted stock unit awards as of September 25, 2015 and changes during the year then ended is presented in the tables below:

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Reclassifications— Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.

The Company expects to complete the sale of another of its ROW Integrated Solutions & Services businesses during the first half of fiscal 2016. The assets and liabilities of this business are classified as held for sale, and its results of operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. See Note 3.

Principles of Consolidation

Use of Estimates

Revenue Recognition

Research and Development

Advertising

Acquisition Costs

Translation of Foreign Currency

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash Equivalents—All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Inventories

Inventories—Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost (primarily first-in, first-out) or market value.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Net



Buildings and related improvements	Up to 50 years
Leasehold improvements	Lesser of remaining term of the lease or economic useful life
Subscriber systems	Up to 14 years
Other machinery, equipment and furniture and fixtures	Up to 21 years

See below for discussion of depreciation method and estimated useful lives related to subscriber systems.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Useful Life

15 years

Subscriber System Assets and Related Deferred Revenue Accounts

Dealer and Other Amortizable Intangible Assets, Net

The estimated useful life of dealer intangibles ranges from 12 to 15 years. The Company amortizes dealer intangible assets on an accelerated basis.

Other Amortizable Intangible Assets, Net—Intangible assets primarily include contracts and related customer relationships (dealer accounts discussed above) and intellectual property.

Long-Lived Asset Impairments

Goodwill and Indefinite Lived Intangible Asset Impairments

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Asset Impairments—Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are assessed for impairment annually and more frequently if triggering events occur (see Note 8). In performing these assessments, management relies on and considers a number of factors, including operating results, business plans, economic projections, anticipated future cash flows, comparable market transactions (to the extent available), other market data and the Company's overall market capitalization. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors which require judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The Company elected to make the first day of the fourth quarter the annual impairment assessment date for all goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Insurable Liabilities

Fair Value of Financial Instruments


•	Level 1—inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities which are accessible as of the measurement date.

•


•	Level 3—inputs for the valuations are unobservable and are based on management's estimates and assumptions that market participants would use similar inputs in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques such as option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.

Shareholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income

Dividends

The Company presented dividends declared of $86 million for each of the quarters ended March 27, 2015 and June 26, 2015, as a reduction of Additional paid in capital within the Company’s Consolidated Shareholders’ Equity. For the quarter ended September 25, 2015, the Company corrected this presentation to present dividends declared for the second, third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2015 (subsequent to the re-domicile to Ireland), as a reduction of Accumulated Earnings within the Consolidated Statement of Shareholder’s Equity to conform the presentation to its stand-alone statutory financial statements prepared under Irish GAAP. The Irish Companies Act (2014) does not permit dividends to be paid from share capital, including share premium. This reclassification has no effect on net revenue, operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows and total equity. The Company will reclass its presentation of dividends declared for the periods ending March 27, 2015 and June 26, 2015 when the Company files its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ending March 25, 2016 and June 24, 2016, respectively.
