I think it's worth mentioning interpretations of the definition of "end user" in 950. In my opinion, "end users" are obviously people who use the equipment and are also not expected to be aware of the hazards.
That's why, in my opinion, the thread about safety critical parts was so difficult to pin down. We as safety engineers know some rather obvious hazards which could occur during design, assembly, and use. But, in selling to the general consumer market, the product is being put in the hands of maybe uneducated or non-technical people of a variety of ages. As such, you have to anticipate little to no experience or knowledge.
