The council is meeting at Japan's request later on Monday after seven missiles were fired off North Korea's eastern coast on Saturday.
North Korea is banned from all ballistic missile-related activities under UN sanctions.
The sanctions were strengthened after the communist nation carried out a second underground nuclear test in May.
North Korea is now banned from exporting all weapons and importing all but small arms.
Under the terms, North Korean ships are also liable for inspection.
The meeting of the 15-member council is scheduled for 2000 GMT.
The missile launches on Saturday were apparently timed to coincide with Independence Day in the United States - a similar volley was fired on the same day in 2006.
