Standard clubs with refurbished interior (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

criterion

'standard' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'clubs with refurbished interior' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'refurbished' is an anagram indicator.
'interior' with letters rearranged gives 'riterion'.
'c'+'riterion'='CRITERION'

(Other definitions for criterion that I've seen before include "Judging standard" , "Standard; model" , "Touchstone" , "London theatre?" , "Standard by which to judge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
