Hi Alex,
You may very well need to create your own checklist as only you know your employer's products well enough to know what needs to be looked at during the design cycle. You may have to look for severity impacts on EMC (emissions and immunity), safety and telecom for product design/redesign and revision activities. If you honestly don't know what to look for in such a checklist, I would recommend attending EMC and Safety seminars. There are also some textbooks on the subjects. These can be very enlightening. From what you learn there, you will be better able to know what to look for and from that you will be better able to generate such a checklist. Also, you might want to entertain the notion of generating a general design spec which would detail compliance design requirements for your employer's products (the designers should then work from the spec). Once these requirements are documented in such a spec, generating a checklist from the spec should be quite easy. I hope this helps.
