I realized that some parts of my activities are included in the "know how" of the lab but they are not written as a formal document in order to new employees could be able to look to them if they requiere to perform the same activities. So I was wondering if there is a methodology to standardize/adapt/validate protocols.
No particular methodology will be available. Its done so that the scientist ensures that the protocols are performed well within the available facilities. Its according to your freedom. One has to do many trail and error experiments to ensure if its best suited for your lab.

Labs performing assays as a service can follow the ISO/IEC 17025 standard principles to demonstrate competence, ensure traceability, validate methods and to keep a formal record of the lab activity . For medical in-vitro diagnostic assay services there is also a standard (the ISO/IEC 15189) that is strongly based on the 17025. Both standards follows the set of instructions from the ISO 9000 series for organizational issues and from ISO 17511 for traceability and quality requirements. These standards are guidelines to stablish a formal documentation of the lab capabilities and to ensure that the daily activity are well kept. There is no a unique or rigid form of implementation, so it can be adapted to the needs of the lab staff with some degree of freedom. Also, adherence to standards is voluntary in principle but is required if the lab want (or need) to be accredited for a given set of assays.
