Yes - Steel and brass hinges are effective for a half-hour door, but only steel hinges will be satisfactory for a one-hour door. Check the CE markings and interpret using http://www.firesafe.org.uk/assets/docs/guide1935.pdf
All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.
