PCT No. PCT/GB94/00010 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 5, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 5, 1995 PCT Filed Jan. 5, 1994 PCT Pub. No. WO94/15465 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 21, 1994An aqueous composition comprising a lower aliphatic peracid, a corrosion inhibitor and a peroxide stabilizer and/or peracid stabilizer, is useful for disinfecting medical equipment, particularly metal components of such equipment. A process for obtaining such compositions is also provided and comprises mixing a first aqueous solution comprising a lower aliphatic peracid with a second aqueous solution comprising hydrogen peroxide, a corrosion inhibitor and a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer and/or a peracid stabilizer. The first and second aqueous solutions can form a two pack system for obtaining such compositions.
