It means you used 5/8 sheetrock. A garage which has a wall common to a living are is required to have 5/8" rock.
A 1-hour rated dwelling separation for apartments refers to a fire-resistance rating that ensures walls, floors, or ceilings can withstand fire exposure for at least one hour. This separation is designed to limit the spread of fire between units, providing occupants with additional time to escape and allowing firefighters to manage the situation more effectively. Typically, this involves the use of fire-rated materials and construction methods in the building design. Compliance with local building codes and standards is essential to meet these fire safety requirements.
A one-hour fire-rated separation refers to a wall, door, or other barrier that can withstand exposure to fire for up to one hour before allowing flames and heat to pass through. This helps to contain fires within a specific area and provides time for safe evacuation.
A 1-hour fire-rated wall is a partition designed to withstand fire for a minimum of one hour, providing a barrier that helps prevent the spread of flames, heat, and smoke between different areas of a building. This type of wall is typically constructed using specific materials and assemblies that have been tested and certified for their fire-resistance capabilities. It is commonly used in commercial buildings, multi-family residences, and other structures to enhance safety and comply with building codes. Such walls are crucial for protecting occupants and property during a fire emergency.
A fire-rated assembly that should resist breakthrough for a period of one hour. An example of this type of construction is the use of 5/8-inch-thick fire-rated gypsum wallboard or a combination of wallboard and plaster. All of the electrical boxes must be metal and not plastic. Any penetrations through the assembly must be properly protected to prevent the spread of fire.
A hollow metal exterior door should give you a one hour fire rating.

No. A fire resistance rating is determined by the amount of time a partition will prevent the spread of fire, so a one-hour door (and its wall and supports) would have to hold back a typical fire growing for at least one hour. For example, a 20-minute fire rating requires a fire door to withstand an intense fire on one side, rising to over 1,400 degrees F during twenty minutes, and then being hit by a pressurized fire stream, without causing any openings.
