Hello everyone. I have not been able to find the code in the 2020 NEC the addresses the installation of arc fault protection when replacing a receptacle in a house that doesn't have arc fault protection. I found the one in 2017 NEC, but not 2020 nec. please see below.
Replacement of receptacles shall comply with 406.4(D)(1) through (D)(7), as applicable. Arc-fault circuit-interrupter type and ground-fault circuit interrupter type receptacles shall be installed in a readily accessible location. (4) If a receptacle outlet located in any areas specified in 210.12(A), (B), or (C) is replaced, a replacement receptacle at this outlet shall be one of the following: (1) A listed outlet branch-circuit type arc-fault circuit interrupter receptacle (2) A receptacle protected by a listed outlet branch circuit type arc-fault circuit-interrupter type receptacle (3) A Receptacle protected by a listed combination type arc-fault circuit-interrupter type circuit breaker
