Approved, definitive (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

authoritative

This clue is a double definition.

'approved' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'definitive' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for authoritative that I've seen before include "Factual" , "Reliable, true" , "Commanding, self-confident" , "Vested with power or influence" , "Commanding and self-assured" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
