Do I have to follow requirementsspecifications strictly when using AC?

I have some device with a connection terminal which can deal with (quote)

max. 1 A/24 Vac/dc.

I would like to use it for switching a device with 1A and 12V AC. How are the specifications meant? Is the peak value (since it says max) or the RMS current/voltage meant? Since 1A AC will exceed 1A inat the peaks I am afraid to break my device if I tried.

EDIT

The device is a Rocom Doormaster Smart 4+n. On that page it says "Max. load for driver contacts 3 to 5: 24 Vac/dc 1 A" which I am afraid to exceed with my 1A AC at the peaks.
