OEI Service Ceiling vs Category A

Hello, here is a Helicopter 101 question for you that worths 10 points =)

I just saw a graph for a halicopter, telling about the OEI service ceiling data, changing with MTOW, Altitude and temperature. (max. permissible altitude/temp/MTOW to achieve 100ft/min climb rate) (graph did not have an initial condition about Vtoss or Vy)

Knowing that the helicopter is capable of CAT-A operations, can i use this graph to show the CAT-A capabilities of the helicopter? (hint: 0-200 ft requires a min. of 100ft/min climb rate @ Vtoss)

Or am i completely mixing up two completely independent subjects, and looking for the answer to (1 apple + 1 egg = ?)
