Category B or C aircraft?

I know the topic was already discussed however I would like to bring it up one more time. Looking out for more specific information based on current European regulations.
Obviously we cannot easily change category of the aircraft once its assigned. The question is how should we fly all procedures if we are in configuration or conditions other than normal, like "flaps less than full" or "icing speeds" at weight close to maximum permitted.
Let say, those conditions require to fly B aircraft with speeds higher than permitted for acft cat B. Which minima would we apply in that case?
Should we strictly stick to Appendix 2 to OPS 1.430(c) and apply cat. B minima as independent or is there a legal way to switch to cat. C minima?
