So it seems that anything other than a vertical installation on a wall for a residential panel would not meet current safety standards (not "listed") as a guide (assuming that is put in writing) ... ![icon_wink.gif](upload://ssT9V5t45yjlgXqiFRXL04eXtqw.gif)

If that info is not in the instructions included in the listing or labeling all bets are off.
