Every 4 yrs or 40,000 miles - whichever is sooner. It is recommended to change the tensioners and water pump too (and aux. belt)

It's recommended that the 4 pots have their water pump changed when the cam belt is done, because, as the cam belt drives the pump, if the pump bearings fail, the belt can/will easily jump a tooth or 3 or 4 & bounce your valves off  the piston crowns ..... not good.  :-?  :-?
While you're there, you could change the fan belt while you're at it  ;)  :y  :y
