It is shown that in a variety of (not necessarily associative) algebras which satisfies a variant of Andrunakievich's Lemma, a class C containing no solvable algebras is the semi-simple class corresponding to some supernilpotent radical class if and only ifCis hereditary and is closed under extensions and sub-direct products. Semi-simple classes in general are not characterized by these properties. If the variety satisfies the further condition that some proper power of every ideal is an ideal, then analogous results hold for the semi-simple classes corresponding to radical classes containing no solvable algebras. In particular, for algebras over a field in the latter situation, all semi-simple classes are characterized by the three closure properties mentioned.
