Unfortuantely the project has been done with mkii=E2=80=A6 that=E2= =80=99s why I would like to know if it=E2=80=99s possible to produce a PDF/= A compliant file with ConTeXt mkii.
By the way, is there an easy way to check whether a PDF file is PDF/A = compliant?

Best regards: OK
afaik there is only and experimental extension of pdftex that used = with latex can make pdf/a-1a (tagged pdf) -- but i'm not sure.=C2=A0

But pdf/a-1= b are different (not tagged) so you can use ghostscript, even if it's n= ot easy.
