Iséki's BCK-algebras form a quasivariety of groupoids and a finite BCK-algebra must satisfy the identity (En): xyn = xyn+1, for a suitable positive integer n. The class of BCK-algebras which satisfy (En) is a variety which has strongly equationally definable principal congruences, congruence-3-distributivity, and congruence-3-permutability. Thus, a finite BCK-algebra generates a 3-based variety of BCK-algebras. The variety of bounded commutative BCK-algebras which satisfy (En) is generated by n finite algebras, each of which is semiprimal.
