Yep, that's about right. They Recommend meeting WAI Guidelines, and advise people to strive for compliance with Priority 2 and 3 checkpoints. In particular they use Must/Should/May with respect to meeting the different priorities, so the Recommendation is that sites Must meet level A. They give a checklist, which is just the Priority 1 checkpoints from the WCAG, pointing to the Swedish translation, and as far as testing goes they offer links to Bobby, the Wave (dead link) and A-Prompt, plus a link to the EO document "evaluating websites for accessibility" (in english). In the adivce section they provide the rest of the checkpoints, and repeat the advice to strive for compliance to all levels "for sites that are popular" (my free translation). There are various other relevant recommendations/advice - for examle plain language is a requirement (they link to a test at http://www.justitie.regeringen.se/klarsprak/klarsprakstest/ which might be useful if you want to write clear swedish), as is using correct HTML/CSS, among a large list. Their page on Deisgn for all is http://www.statskontoret.se/24/200213/design-for-alla.html#webbplatsen-skall-folja-web-co For some reason they reject connections from Lynx, despite it being essentially a plain-text site of the kind lynx handles well. So they provide a link to webstandards.org's "upgrade your browser" page, also in english.
