WCAG 2.0 Technique H44: "Using label elements to associate text
labels with form controls" at
<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H44.html>; lists the following
success criteria:
* SC 1.1.1 (Non-text Content) ,
* SC 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships),
* SC 3.2.4 (Consistent Identification),
* SC 3.3.2 (Labels or Instructions),
* SC 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).

Best regards,

Christophe
