If it was a new build domestic, then Building Regulations would come into it too, as consumer units are meant to comply with accessibility for heights etc. But I guess cabins (commercial?) might not be covered by that.
From a purely technical point, I can't see an immediate reason for them not being safe like that - though if there were any holes in the rear of the consumer unit for cables to enter that weren't sealed, then any dust, not to mention water, would likely end up in there - so maybe not suitable for external influences?
