5.7.1 Other Form Elements Accessible Name Computation

  1. If the control has an aria-label or an aria-labelledby attribute the accessible name is to be calculated using the algorithm defined in Accessible Name and Description: Computation and API Mappings 1.1.
  2. Otherwise use label element.

The earlier section on input says

Otherwise use the associated label element(s) accessible name(s) - if more than one label is associated; concatenate by DOM order, delimited by spaces.

This wording should be used for "other form elements" as well.
