We prove that an hypersemigroup H is regular if and only, for any fuzzy subset f of H, we have f ≼ f ο 1 ο f and it is intra-regular if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H, we have f ≼1 ο f ο f ο 1. An hypersemigroup H is left (resp. right) quasi-regular if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H we have f ≼ 1 ο f ο 1 ο f (resp. f ≼ f ο 1 ο f ο 1) and it is semisimple if and only if, for any fuzzy subset f of H we have f ≼ 1 ο f ο 1 ο f ο 1. The characterization of regular and intra-regular hypersemigroups in terms of fuzzy subsets are very useful for applications.
