Passing validation doesn't garanty accessibility. 
If a figure has no alternative text, validation for UA-1 will fail.
But if all your figure have as alternative text "blablablub", it
will pass.

Well you can test that. Get nvda and then let the PDF read to you.

ISO 19005 is about PDF/A, Archivability. That has nothing to do with
accessibility. You must call verapdf with the -f switch and choose
ua-1, ua-2, wt1r, or wt1a if you want to validate accessibility. 
(assuming that you have a current verapdf).
