Recently A. D. Sands [7] solved a problem posed in [6], and characterised the semisimple classes of associative rings as classes being regular, coinductive and closed under extensions. It is the purpose of this note to prove the same assertion for alternative rings. This result is perhaps not surprising, nevertheless its proof cannot be considered an easy one, and it requires a technique of dealing with ideals of ideals. In addition, semisimple classes of hereditary radicals and those of supernilpotent radicals will be characterised as easy consequences of our theorem.
