The purpose of this work is to extend the energy range of the data on the relative abundances and the periods of delayed neutrons from fission of 235 U beyond the threshold of the 235 U(n,n'f) reaction. The measurements of the relative abundances and half-lives of precursors for delayed neutrons emitted from neutron-induced fission of 235 U in the energy range 0.4 -8 MeV have been performed with a modified experimental setup at IPPE, Obninsk. The obtained data have been used to verify the energy dependence of the 235 U fission product yields obtained from the GEF code using the summation method and the IAEA microscopic delayed-neutron database. The delayed-neutron relative abundances and half-lives data for neutron-induced fission of 235 U in the energy range 0.4 -8 MeV are available from the IAEA reference database https://wwwnds.iaea.org/beta-delayed-neutron/database.html.
