All members must be at least 25 years old. When conferred posthumously, it is awarded to those who made significant contributions to Burkinabé commerce and industry in recognition of acts of bravery. The Order may also be conferred upon foreigners or awarded in absence of service requirements, but only under exceptional circumstances. Promotion to a higher grade may be made after 5 years in the lower grade, accompanied by additional merits.
