Ghostscript convert to pdfA

My client update the version of ghostscript to 9.52, so in version 9.26 I use this command to convert a pdf to PDFA

gs -dPDFA=1 -dNOOUTERSAVE -sPAPERSIZE=a4 -dAutoRotatePages=/None -dAutoRotatePages=/All -dAutoRotatePages=/PageByPage -dFIXEDMEDIA -dPDFFitPage -sProcessColorModel=DeviceRGB -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -o %s -dPDFACompatibilityPolicy=1 %s

And now dont work, I look at the ghostscript page but don't find anything about this, I try to run gs -help and don't show anything about PDFA/

Output

This command works with GhostScript 10.x:

gs -dVERBOSE -dPDFA=3 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile=OUTPUT_FILE.pdf PDFA_def.ps INPUT_FILE.pdf

The definitions file PDFA_def.ps ships with GhostScript and should be found automatically.
