It has no legal standing but is used by ceremonial protocol.

The order of precedence is determined by the Protocol Regulations[1] and the Table of Precedence[2] of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.

Unless otherwise noted, precedence among persons of equal rank is determined by seniority.

As a general rule, spouses share the same rank.
