bolt in versus snap in breakers

[john2mcc]

is there a code that states which type of breaker is required depending on whether it is bolt in or snap in?

I don't think that is in the code.

I think it has more to do with the AIC rating, even though bolt in breakers can have low AIC ratings, you usually do not see plug in breakers with higher AIC ratings.
