You can find some of that information in IPC-600 and in the 6012 document. They identify voids in the epoxy materials and sizes of such along with Zone A and B differential requirements. Hope this helps.

We have a group here which is concerned about any voids left when the laminates are pressed together, either within or between layers, and the effects they might have at high altitudes. Are there any IPC specs which state allowable values or anything like that? These are boards made with IPC-4101/ 40, 41 or 42 materials. Thanks for any help!
