Abstract: Classification of the stable symmetries of Jahn-Teller systems of O_h parent group is done both for double and triple degenerate nonrelativistic electronic states and for fourfold degenerate relativistic ones. The results produced by the epikernel principle and by the method of step-by-step descent in symmetry connected with degenerate states splitting are compared. The results obtained on the basis of epikernel principle are incomplete and for relativistic electronic states even incorrect.
