Who is actually going to bother risk assessing each individual item of equipment? The risk assessment will probably take longer than the test. In reality, whatever type of equipment it is, the test is going to be to carry out a quick visual inspection. Then plug the equipment into the tester, press a button, and wait for the tester to spit out a "pass" label.
It may not even be worth devising a separate test interval for different types of equipment. It's easier to designate a day, then do a sweep of the entire office, PAT testing every bit of electrical equipment you see.
