Tough question. Your garage walls could be fire rated 5/8 drywall (meant to keep CO out of living spaces).

That being said you can certainly double up 1/2 or 5/8 shreetrock to make your"access cover" and it would be fire rated.

Not certain that anyone cares in a residence. You wont have a sur9fire marshal inspection like commercial, lol. I use the plastic plumbing access panels you are describing and paint to match.
