Commonly validation protocols are derived from Requirements documents. Therefore review the requirements document to create the validation protocol.

Installation Qualification (IQ): Procedure to evaluate the means of the equipment and the testing of it material. Below is an example of IQ document.

Operational Qualification (OQ): Procedure to validate the equipment or product parameters

Performance Qualification (PQ): This processes mostly like a stress test, that will validate the boundary conditions. For example if the Motor is specified to run at a minimum speed of 25 RPM and a maximum speed of 150 RPM, this process will test and document the results.

Sometime some of these steps are combined, such as OQ and PQ.
