A group‐theoretical method within the framework of the Landau theory of phase transitions is proposed to obtain and analyse a complete set of critical (primary) and noncritical (secondary) order parameters condensing as a result of a phase transition (complete condensate). The principal problems that can be solved by this method are formulated. A number of theorems describing the structure of complete condensate are proved. As an example, phase transitions are examined in crystals having O   h 7 (Fd3m) space symmetry induced by six‐dimensional irreducible representations.
