In [4, Theorem 4.1, p. 45], Enochs characterizes the integral domains with the property that the direct product of any family of torsion-free covers is a torsion-free cover. In a setting which includes integral domains as a special case, we consider the corresponding question for direct sums. We use the notion of torsion introduced by Goldie [5]. Among commutative rings, we show that the property “any direct sum of torsion-free covers is a torsion-free cover“ characterizes the semi-simple Artinian rings.
