An algebraic structure A has the congruence extension property (CEP) if for any
algebraic substructure B ≤ A and
any congruence relation θ on B there exists a congruence relation ψ on A
such that ψ∩(B×B) = θ.

A class of algebraic structures has the congruence extension property if each of its members has the congruence extension
property.

For a class K of algebraic structures, a congruence θ on an algebra B is a K-congruence
if B/θ ∈ K. If B is a subalgebra of A, we say that a K-congruence
θ of B can be extended to A if there is a K-congruence ψ on A such that
ψ∩(B×B) = θ.

Note that if K is a variety and B ∈ K then every congruence of B is a K-congruence.

A class K of algebraic structures has the (principal) relative congruence extension property ((P)RCEP) if for every algebra
A ∈ K any (principal) K-congruence
of any subalgebra of A can be extended to A.
