Think of it is as an answer to the question "As what?" Here's a good example from the web - Rex was leader of the pack and, as such (As what? As the leader of the pack.), expected obedience from the other dogs. (no problem here)

It looks like in the example sentence you have given "as such" depends on the previous sentence. So, I expect here it means "for the reason previously given/discussed", it is requested that you give the relevant information. It is a way of referring to something previously mentioned.

It means “with respect to its inherent nature” like intrinsically which is also similar to “in the same way”.
