Document for PCI-DSS (v4) requirement 5.2.3

I'm trying to find documentation that would answer the following PCI requirement, specifically the last line:
Products I'm looking to cover is FortiGate, FortiAP and FortiSwitch

PCI-DSS Requirement 5.2.3:
All system components not at risk for malware are evaluated periodically to include:

  • A documented list of all system components not at risk for malware.

  • Identification and evaluation of evolving malware threats for those system components.

  • Confirmation that such systems continue to not require anti-malware protection. 

I have not been able to find anything in the admin guides. As much as I would love to say "because I said so", it's not acceptable. I need either an industry doc or a vendor doc for firewalls, APs, switches.

Can someone point me to a document either by Fortinet or from "recognized" industry/experts?

This would be an accepted answer from another vendor as an example - VMWare's response:

There are SAQ docs that list out which requirements and sub requirements are required for each type of SAQ. That might be the closest thing. Otherwise, ctrl+f "interview" in the PCI DSS 4.0.1. That won't be perfect either because QSAs might not always do do every interview or one interview might cover a wife range of requirements https://tutuapp.uno/ .

I believe you misunderstood, I posted the requirement from PCI-DSS. I need a document from Fortinet that states it does not need to run a local AV on the OS because of XYZ reasons.
