The book is just a guideline! It also says that pc's in an office should be tested more frequent than in a school!

Yes it's your decision as the inspector to decide the intervals depending on the use of the assets , for instance a hand held piece of equipment on a building site will require more attention than a printer in an office. Plans are a foot to change the COP to reflect the concerns of industry of the frequency of testing to a more understandable and practical level I believe.

Maybe it's in a factory then but you show me a class 2 pc
