Convert PDF to PDF/A using python

Question

I'm trying to use a Python module or a subprocess script to convert PDF files to Archivable PDF/A format compatible with all versions. The difficulty I'm facing is validating the files. my script runs the subprocess ghostscript command

gs -dPDFA=3 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE -dNOSAFER -sColorConversionStrategy=UseDeviceIndependentColor -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dPDFACompatibilityPolicy=3 -dPDFACompatibilityLevel=3u -sOutputFile=dummypdfa.pdf dummy.pdf 

though the output file gets generated dummypdfa.pdf , when I run the file through online validator, I get the error

I'm fairly new working with gs, a suggestion on how to convert the files w/o restapi wrappers would be helpful. thanks.

EDIT: My ICC Profile sRGB.icc

%!
% This is a sample prefix file for creating a PDF/A document.
% Users should modify entries marked with "Customize".
% This assumes an ICC profile resides in the file (srgb.icc),
% in the current directory unless the user modifies the corresponding line below.

% Define entries in the document Info dictionary :
[ /Title (Title)       % Customise
  /DOCINFO pdfmark

% Define an ICC profile :
/ICCProfile (D:/scripts/2024/upwork/PDF2PDF-A/sRGB.icc) % Customise
def

[/_objdef {icc_PDFA} /type /stream /OBJ pdfmark

%% This code attempts to set the /N (number of components) key for the ICC colour space.
%% To do this it checks the ColorConversionStrategy or the device ProcessColorModel if
%% ColorConversionStrategy is not set.
%% This is not 100% reliable. A better solution is for the user to edit this and replace
%% the code between the ---8<--- lines with a simple declaration like:
%%   /N 3
%% where the value of N is the number of components from the profile defined in /ICCProfile above.

I'm confused, can we specify the different versions to convert into? Like 1a, 2a, 2b, 2u, 3u...
