It depends on the minimum dieletric thickness, and where the scratch is 
in relation to any conductors. According to IPC-RB-276, 
scratches, dents or tool marks are acceptable provided they do not 
bridge conductors. Also, they shall not penetrate to 
a depth that reduces the dielectric thickness below the minimum.

On the matter of repair, I know IPC-R-700C lists methods for repairing 
PCBs which have been charred (involves a rough clean or removal of the 
affected area, followed by an epoxy fill); whether the same method may be 
used for repairing a scratched board, I don't know.

IPC-RB-276, "Qualification and Performance Specification for Rigid 
Boards," is available from IPC: $20 members/40 nonmembers.
