Kim, I would suggest you put the question to the `Rotorheads` forum,where there are many experts who will be able to offer advice/requirements from various National Authorities about rooftop helipads/EMS operations.

As a helicopter test pilot, you should be able to answer your own question, as you should be able to read and interpret the manuals..
Your questions refers to the ABILITY to land there.....there is a clear answer to that:
It depends.
Helicopter landing weight, Field elevation, Pressure Altitude, Wind, Dimensions, Power Available....
The categories describe exactly that-the CATEGORY a helicopter is operating in.
It describes the margins, the equipment and other things NECESSARY to operate in that CATEGORY...
