Fire rating is related to the materials used and the openings they cover. You may use sheetrock/gypsum/plasterboard in various thicknesses to make a fire-resistant wall up to two hours. You may need inter-stud firestops, and you may need to take care of any windows, doors, or other openings through the fire rated partition. Your local building or fire code will specify how thick the layers must be, and the other details.
