Wylex 100A dp isolators in plastic enclosures.

Just wondered why these are not classed as "similar switchgear" to consumer units etc which are supposed to be in

non flammable enclosures in domestics.

Are Metal clad two modular enclosures consumer units?

Depends on what you put in it! If you could squeeze a switch disconnector and an MCB in there then yes (single module switch disconnectors are available for smaller ratings - e.g. https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/4370332-20a-2-pole-1-module-switch-disconnector-isolator) (with suitable type approval of course).

Perhaps also an RCBO if that provides the functions of both an isolator for the incoming circuit and overcurrent protection for the outgoing. Perhaps.

But you just put a single switch or RCCB in there, then no.
