Accessibility support sets may vary based on language, region, or situation.
If you are not using the default accessibility set, the conformance report should indicate what set is being used.
accessibility supported: available and working in the user agents and assistive technology in the accessibility support set

The working group intended to include a default accessibility support set. See Default accessibility support set #277.

Conformance is an important part of following the guidelines even when not making a formal Conformance Claim
See the Conformance section for more information.
